Under the Gaslight: A Totally Original and Picturesque Drama of Life and Love in These Times by Augustin DalyMay 10-11, 17-19, 7:30 p.m.Old-fashioned melodrama, Under the Gaslight, brings 1860s theatre to Crystal Sea Drama Company.Melodrama has something for everyone. In Augustin Dalys 1867 script, Under the Gaslight, the beautiful young Laura Courtland, belle of New York society, is plunged into poverty by a terrible secret from her past. She must claw her way back to the top, while facing evil villains and finding her perfect hero. Under the Gaslight introduced to the world the oft-parodied melodramatic idea of the heroine being tied to the railroad tracks by a fiendish, moustache-twirling villain, while a train bears down on her - although in this case, its one of the heroes who is tied to the track instead.In an effort to create a sense of 19th Century theatre-going, CSDC Executive Artistic Director, Irene Miller, is interspersing the action with olios, 19th Century variety acts used to fill out the production and to satisfy the average customers' desire for all forms of entertainment. Olios can be anything from comedy sketches to popular songs of the era to magic acts.Tickets are $12/adults; $10/students, seniors, military, SATCO.
