Pontine to Premiere THE HUNTING OF THE SNARK & OTHER NONSENSE BY LEWIS CARROLL, 4/24-5/10
24 April - 10 May, Pontine Theatre premieres its original stage adaptation of Lewis Carroll's, The Hunting of the Snark. Pontine's Artistic Directors, Marguerite Mathews and Greg Gathers present a Victorian Toy Theatre extravaganza celebrating the master of English nonsense verse, Lewis Carroll (Charles L. Dodgson).
In 1876, following the success of the "Alice" books, Carroll produced "The Hunting of the Snark," a fantastical nonsense poem that follows the misbegotten voyage of a misfit crew of tradesmen, plus one beaver, who set off in pursuit of the mythical Snark.
In Pontine's newest work "The Snark" and other Carroll poems are brought imaginatively to life with Victorian-style Toy Theatre figures inspired by the popular 19th century parlor entertainment. The production is performed by Co-Artistic Directors, Greg Gathers and Marguerite Mathews. The figures, set, projected images and costumes are designed and created by Mr. Gathers .
Performances are offered Fridays @7:30, Saturdays @4 & Sundays @2. Tickets are $24 and may be purchased online at www.pontine.org. Pontine's West End Studio Theatre is located at 959 Islington Street, Portsmouth NH. Contact Pontine: info@pontine.org / 603-436-6660
