Elements Theatre Company Stages TALKING HEADS, Now thru 8/9
Elements Theatre Company offers Cape audiences a rare treat; the opportunity to experience Alan Bennett's award-winning Talking Heads, a series of monologues originally created for BBC television in 1987. These brilliantly composed scenes are considered a classic of contemporary drama.
In Bed Among the Lentils, a vicar's wife discovers a semblance of happiness with an Indian shop owner. A man's life begins to unravel when he discovers his aging mother has rekindled an old flame in A Chip in the Sugar. And in A Lady of Letters, a busybody pays a price for interfering in her neighbor's life.
Brilliantly funny, revealing and gritty, these three snapshots are a riveting observation of humanity in all its humor and tragedy.
Alan Bennett is highly regarded as one of the finest playwrights in Britain. Best-known for The Madness of George III (1991) and The History Boys (2004); it was Talking Heads that earned him the first of six Laurence Olivier Awards and made him a household name.
The Performances will take place July 31- August 2 & August 7-9 at 7:30 pm, at Paraclete House at the Community of Jesus, Rock Harbor Orleans. (5 Bay View Drive) In addition, there will be a 3-course gourmet dinner served before the performance on the select nights of August 1, 7 and 8 at 6pm.
For reservations please call 508-240-2400 or go to www.elementstheatre.org.
