The Game's AfootWritten by: Ken LudwigDirected by: Yannig MorinDecember 5 - 28
An actor who plays Sherlock Holmes invites guests to his home for the Christmas holidays only to find he must be a real detective when a guest turns up dead.
Oscar Wildeās āThe Importance of Being Earnestā is the last of his four drawing-room plays, the previous three being āLady Windermereās Fanā, āA Woman Of No Importanceā and āAn Ideal Husbandā, written a couple of hundred years ago! This farcical comedy depicts the tangled affairs of two young āmen about townā who lead double lives to evade unwanted social obligations, both assuming the name āErnestā while wooing the two young women of their affections. The play, celebrated for its wit and repartee, parodies contemporary dramatic norms, gently satirizes late Victorian manners, and introduces ā in addition to the two pairs of young lovers ā the formidable āLady Bracknellā ā you must have heard of her! A luminary of Albuquerque theatre holding the directorās baton, Mario Cabrera has chosen six very well-known actors ā Georgia Athearn, Nicee Brown, Clair Gardner, Jerry Hines, Bailey Hunt, Scott Sharot and Michael Weppler - to delight the audience, along with M. Cabrera, as āLady Bracknellā! Performances 7.30pm Fridays and Saturdays. Additional performances Thursday Dec 11 and 18 at 7.30pm ($10 tix available). Saturday Dec 13 - 2pm only.
