Notes: | Original Playwright - Marivaux | |||||
Synopsis: | "For a writer often thought of as coldly mathematical, there is something strangely unresolved about this particular Marivaux play. Everything hinges on a young woman's disguise as a chevalier, ostensibly to witness first-hand the mercenariness of a potential husband, Lelio. Having befriended the monstrous Lelio, she agrees to rescue him from the marital clutches of a middle-aged countess by wooing the lady herself. Her apparent aim is to protect the countess's money and expose Lelio's deviousness. But is that her actual motive? Marivaux's real preoccupation is erotic power and the fluidity of gender. Unlike the Rodgers and Hammerstein heroine who enjoyed being a girl, Marivaux's protagonist clearly relishes being a man. She stresses her attractiveness, is ready to fight a duel with Lelio and, in two extraordinary seduction scenes, reduces the countess to grovelling humiliation. She may, in Crimp's witty translation, sardonically announce, "I see blood on a regular basis," but she is driven by an androgynous narcissism that links her with the cross-dressing Dietrich and Hepburn heroines of 20th-century cinema. ", Guardian | |||||

| the Game of Love and Chance, written in 1730, is transported to the 1930s in this fresh new staging. It is a comic comment on love and social class. Unwilling to take a chance on an arranged marriage, two intended lovers switch places with their servants in order to size each other up from a less-privileged position. Desire, agony, neuroses, and lust blend with wit, charm, surprise, and farce into romantic comic delight. | |||||

Synopsis: | this "ferociously filthy and cuttingly contemporary drama" presents Celine McAnespie, an employee of the Costly Coffee global empire is dragged off to a weekend training course just days before she's started her new job. Her eco-warrior boyfriend is furious with her for taking the job - partly because he's about to spend the weekend at the company's global HQ demonstrating against them. Weaving sex, intrigue, greed and protest, Love Freaks asks whether the course of true love can survive the ravages of transnational business interests. | |||||

Notes: | Original Playwright - Marivaux. A modern translation and adaptation of Marivaux's 1739 Les Sinceres. (never before translated or adapted into English.) A one-act gem from the playwright that Guardian (UK) critic Michael Billington calls "a neglected comic master." Runs 45-50 minutes. | |||||
Synopsis: | During a week at her opulent French country house, Madame and Ergaste are attracted by what they tell themselves is their shared quality of absolute sincerity. But Lisette says of her employer: "She can be charming, but it gets complicated if you want to tell her so; compliments distress her - or so she says. The only way you can do it is to pretend you're picking a fight. Flatter her with a scowl and she purrs." And Frontin says of his: "To listen to him, no one is as unattractive, as incompetent, at times imbecilic as Ergaste. The more outrageous his defects, the better - it gives him character." Lisette and Frontin use this first-hand knowledge to drive Madame and Ergaste apart and into the waiting arms of Dorante and Araminte. | |||||

| Princes Leonide, in disguise, arrives in the garden of the philosopher, Hermocrate. She has come to try and win some time in his retreat for she has fallen in love, from afar, with Hermocrate's student, Agis, who is the "legitimate" prince of the realm over which Leonide rules. Knowing that Hermocrate is steadfastly against women joining the retreat (except for his sister, Leontine, who helps run the place), Leonide puts on the disguise of a man, calling herself Phocion, and brings along her servant Corine, under the alias Hermidas. Phocion proceeds to woo all the people at the retreat depending on what they figure out about her/him. Hermocrate sees through the disguise so Phocion convinces him she has fallen in love with him and until Hermocrate gives her some time to prove herself, she will not leave. When Phocion meets up with Leontine, who buys the disguise, Phocion persuades her he is in love with her so she will petition Hermocrate to let Phocion stay. All the while, the jester and gardener, who now know of the disguise, are being bought off by Leonide and wooed by Corine. All of this just so Leonide can find some time alone with Agis. Once she corners Agis, she first wins him over as a friend, then later reveals she is a woman. Since he has been taught to loathe love, and women as the object of love, he is at first resistant; but soon, attracted to Phocion, and he so very innocent, he is won over and falls in love. Now all the major players in the retreat prepare to marry Phocion (who by now calls herself by all different names). When they all meet in the courtyard, in wedding attire, Leonide not only reveals to Leontine that she is a woman, but reveals to all that she is the illegitimate rulerso often feared and reviledshe is not hateful, loves Agis, and wants to abdicate the crown to him. The two young lovers go off together, leaving the older philosopher and his sister stunned and silent. | |||||
