Hay Fever - Noel Coward
MAY 23rd thru June 2nd Hay Fever is set in the hall of the Bliss family home. The eccentric Blisses—Judith, a recently retired stage actress, David, a self-absorbed novelist, and their two equally unconventional children— live in a world where reality slides easily into fiction. Upon entering this world, the unfortunate weekend guests—a proper diplomat, a shy flapper, an athletic boxer, and a fashionable sophisticate— are repeatedly thrown into melodramatic scenes wherein their hosts profess emotions and react to situations that do not really exist. The resulting comedic chaos ends only when the tortured visitors tip-toe out the door. Location: The 3rd Floor @ sasha's restaurant and bar - Shanghai Time: 8pm - Doors open at 7:30pm Ticket: 200RMB in advance, 220 RMB at the door |
Thom Pain (based on nothing) by William Eno
April 26th & 27th & May 3rd & 4th Starring John Pokrzywinski - is, as noted above, a solo show. The show opens with Mr. Urbaniak shuffling on stage in the dark. He lights a cigarette. Or tries to, anyway. As will soon become achingly clear, the character before us is not the kind of guy who gets things right the first time, or even the second. "Anyway. Now. I guess we begin," he begins. "Do you like magic? I don't. Enough about me. Let's get to our story." Location: The 3rd Floor @ sasha's restaurant and bar - Shanghai Time: 8:00pm - Doors Open at 7:30pm Ticket: 150 RMB Advanced - 180 RMB at the Door |

Someone Who'll Watch over Me
A play written by Irish dramatist Frank McGuinness. The play focuses on the trials and tribulations of an Irishman, an Englishman and an American (Edward, Michael, and Adam) who are kidnapped and held hostage by unseen Arabs in Lebanon. As the three men strive for survival they also strive to overcome their personal and nationalistic differences. Related to this is each individual's own attempt to maintain sanity under the watchful eye of both captors and supposed comrades. At times the dramatic dialogue reaches a level of Beckettinian absurdity, as even the audience is unable to draw a distinction between the characters' insanity and humour. We are made witness and accomplice to a humour based on something apparently ghastly, the loss of rationality. September 22nd thru October 2nd, 2012. 8pm Venue: The Mansion Hotel Shanghai |
