Photo Flash: Bay Street Theatre's ROMANCE Cast And 'Walk On' Winner

ROMANCE is a roller coaster ride in which no one is left unscathed. Chiropractors, Lawyers, Christians, Jews, Gays, Minorities, Shakespeare and even World Peace are skewered as only Mamet can. "You may want to leave your ‘politically correct' hat at home for this play," says Murphy Davis, Artistic Director at Bay Street Theatre. According to Davis, both he and Sybil Christopher, also an Artistic Director at Bay Street, chose this play for the combination of its razor sharp wit and intelligence. "This outrageous comedy is for all those who revel in taking an unflinching look at human hypocrisy and folly," says Davis. "Come to this play with an open mind and to be ready to laugh out loud!"
