Frances Burney's rarely seen 18th century proto-feminist satire is a hilarious story of broken engagements, excessive romanticism - and one massively misguided misogynist. With its unforgettable characters and delicious absurdity, The Woman Hater is a lost comic treat. As directed by Everett Quinton (Red Bull's The Mystery of Irma Vep and the Ridiculous Theatrical Company), it's sure to be a doubly sweet one.
The online reading will premiere LIVE on Monday JANUARY 25th at 7:30 PM EST. A recording of the livestream will be available until 7PM EST on Friday, JANUARY 29th - then it disappears. This event is an important benefit for Red Bull Theater, though tickets are Pay What You Can. Advance reservations are recommended.
"The discovery of Frances Burney's stage plays is a wonderful revelation, and it is a joy for us to be able to share what just might be her funniest play with audiences online -- The Woman Hater -- with a deliciously talented cast under the fabulous direction of Red Bull's long-time creative collaborator, Everett Quinton. Audiences are in for a special online treat with this witty and refreshingly delightful satire," said Artistic Director Berger.
On Thursday JANUARY 28th at 7:30 PM EST, there will be a free Bull Session, an interactive discussion of the play and its themes with director Everett Quinton, scholar Tara K. Menon, and members of the company. Registrants will receive a link to participate.
