2018 Season
Playwriting & Acting
This autumn, TTF presents a workshop production of Emily C. A. Snyder's latest neo-Restoration farce about questions of consent in The Other, Other Woman.
Written in rhyming couplets, The Other, Other Woman pays homage to Molière and his contemporaries, while grappling with issues that become increasingly contemporaneous to the headlines today. |
SIN OR SALVATION? Enter the world of the French salon - where you receive notes from secret admirers, flirt with men and women behind fans...and make sure you behave when Mother Abbess walks by!
TURN TO FLESH PRODUCTIONS presents a sensuous NEW French farce, THE OTHER, OTHER WOMAN. An evening of fun and frivolity wrapped around a play every bit as decadent as Devil's food cake. SYNOPSIS: When a new king takes the throne, all of jolly France is thrown into disarray, worrying that the young monarch might be in favor of monogamy. Their suspicions seem to be confirmed when his sister, Geneviève, comes to a happily affaired town for the purpose of establishing a new judge who will enact theocratic law. While the Princess fights the strictly polyamorous Madame Evolette in the public square, she finds herself fighting her own heart when she begins to fall in love her only ally in town: the pious - and married - Monsieur Valentine. Examining the morality and mortality of everything from the purity cult to the cult of anything goes, The Other, Other Woman will be presented as a workshop production from Thursday, October 4-Saturday, October 13 at El Barrio Art Space, 215 East 99th Street. |
Shakespeare's Merry Wives have become Snyder's Merry Widows in this hilarious sequel with a feminist edge. With a touch of Hamlet, Shakespearean cross-dressing, and a very confused Dogberry and Verges (who took a left turn at Illyria), The Merry Widows of Windsor is sure to delight audiences of all ages.
