An evening of absurdity
Get your tickets for Maris Stella's production, An Evening of Absurdity, at the school next week.
MARIS Stella proudly presents An Evening of Absurdity, a performance of three comedies, on 15 and 16 March.
All three plays offer comedy with a bizarre or unusual twist. Tom Stoppard’s Hamlet in Fifteen Minutes summarises and overdoes this classic Shakespeare to such an extent that it becomes hilarious, with actors playing many roles and even some rap thrown in.
The Actor’s Nightmare by Christopher Durang, takes place inside the mind of Georgie, an accountant, who finds herself stuck on stage, having to perform a play she can’t remember rehearsing or agreeing to.
Finally, Ben Elton (of Black Adder fame) offers the biting, satirical comedy Gasping! which tells the story of three power-hungry executives who find a way to start storing and selling “designer air”. For a while things are looking up, until a global air-shortage occurs and drastic measures need to be taken.
Tickets are available from the school. Contact 031 2099426 for further information.
