 King O'Neil

King O'Neil

Synopsis:
What happens when elementary schoolers get their hands on a classic English farce about a drunken Irishman in pre-revolutionary France? Find out as TheatreRats takes on one of theatre's first prominent playwright's most heralded works, Catherine Gore's King O'Neil. It isn't a far stretch to say that the plot of the 1835 King O'Neil is like that of a soap opera or an evening TV melodrama-and it isn't that dissimilar from the type of tales many children spin by friends as children. There's a man in love with a woman he cannot have; a step-mother out for her own well being; a loving father who is misled; a daughter forced to marry a man she doesn't love to save face; and so on and so forth. all of which led TheatreRats to ask: how might children (or at least actors in character as young children) recreate this play for their friends using a few props and their bursting imaginations?
