Notes

Synopsis: Jonathan Hardcastle’s friend Samuel Hickory Wood has passed away, and he wants to leave 10,000 pounds to Samuel’s son, Billy. Not knowing where Billy is, he has placed an ad in the paper to find him, but omits the proviso that no one can claim the money if Samuel has more than one child. Billy and his friend Charlie turn up to claim the inheritance, but are derailed when Billy’s unknown twin, Rupert, also shows up. Things go even further awry when their also unknown triplet, Michael, arrives. Now Charlie must keep the assorted Hickory Woods concealed from Jonathan in order to sign the deal. But with Billy’s wife Winnie on the hunt for him, and Jonathan’s daughter Cynthia and his sister Amy and their respective suitors complicating matters, it’s a madhouse of slamming doors, secret drawers, and mistaken identities.

Rehearsals: Tuesday and Thursday evenings and Sunday afternoons from January 5th onward.

Synopsis:A celebrated classic of dizzying wit with a side of knives. Set in London in the 1890s. Highly respected politician Robert Chiltern enjoys a reputation beyond reproach until a dazzling stranger holding a secret wafts into his party and threatens to upend his life. In a society where masks are necessary for survival, and marriages are built on ideals, who can risk being truly known? Starring an array of ‘beautiful idiots and brilliant lunatics’, Wilde’s play sharply examines themes of morality, power, truth and love.

“The God of this Century is Wealth. To succeed one must have Wealth. At all costs one must have Wealth… I fought the Century with its own weapons and won.”

Olympe de Gouges Age Mid 30s-40s Female Ethnicity: Caucasian Intelligent, witty, and idealistic, she uses her art to inspire change and fight for justice, particularly women’s rights. While she is courageous and creative, Olympe also struggles with self-doubt and the weight of her ideals, balancing moments of fiery passion with vulnerability and introspection. Good comedic timing, emotional depth required.

 

Charlotte Corday Age:20s Female Ethnicity: Open Fierce, intense, and deeply principled. A young woman driven by conviction, she is determined to make her mark on history by assassinating the radical journalist Jean-Paul Marat.

Marie Antoinette Age 30s-40s Female Ethnicity: Caucasian Larger-than-life, glamorous, and delightfully self-aware. The former queen of France, she is a complex mix of charm, vanity, and vulnerability.

She is playful yet poignant, embodying both the absurdity and tragedy of her position.

 

Marianne Angelle Age 30s-40s Female Ethnicity: Caribbean Descent Intelligent, passionate, and resolute. A revolutionary from Saint-Domingue (modern-day Haiti), Marianne fights tirelessly for freedom and justice for her people. She is grounded and pragmatic, serving as the moral compass of the group, but her fierce determination is tempered by a deep sense of compass.

Notes

Synopsis: Four beautiful, badass women lose their heads in this irreverent, girl-powered comedy set during the French Revolution’s Reign of Terror. Playwright Olympe de Gouges, assassin Charlotte Corday, former queen (and fan of ribbons) Marie Antoinette, and Haitian rebel Marianne Angelle hang out, murder Marat, and try to beat back the extremist insanity in 1793 Paris. This grand and dream-tweaked comedy is about violence & legacy, art & activism, feminism & terrorism, compatriots and chosen sisters, and how we actually go about changing the world. It’s a true story. Or total fiction. Or a play about a play. Or a raucous resurrection...that ends in a song and a scaffold.
