LifelineTheatre presents Sylvester, adapted by Lifeline Theatre ensemble member Christina Calvit (five-time Jeff Award winner) and directed by Lifeline Theatre Artistic Director Dorothy Milne (Jeff Award and After Dark Award winner), based on the novel Sylvester: or the Wicked Uncle by Georgette Heyer (licensed by arrangement with Heron Enterprises Ltd.). Sylvester, Duke of Salford, was born with wealth and good looks, but a life of privilege has rendered him unfeeling towards others. Phoebe Marlow was graced with a sparkling wit and independent spirit, but languishes under the thumb of her domineering stepmother. When this mismatched couple is thrust together by their meddling families, both rebel and their tidy little worlds spin into chaos. Midnight flights, desperate sea voyages, and scathing society hijinks ensue as these unlikely lovers labor to avoid their fate. Grab the reins and charge headlong into a topsy-turvy tale of madcap romance in this world premiere comedy based on the 1957 novel by Georgette Heyer. The production runs approximately two hours with one intermission. The novel will be on sale in the lobby.

From the author of 'Deception by Proxy!', 'Fate: The Relentless Hunter' and 'The Year of the Tiger' comes a new book to engross the reader, The Elusive Miss Wakefield. In this book, author John K. Sutherland pens a love story that revolves around an initial deception-where, in fulfilling a promise to her dying brother, Charlotte Morton, takes on the identity of another woman. Threaded within this story are more sinister themes of violence, murder, embezzlement, and a scheme to displace the rightful heirs to a large estate. The opening chapter involves a reluctant seduction which has ramifications throughout the entire story.
