Jeffrey Hatcher's Compleat Female Stage Beauty is set to run at CST from September 4 - 26, 2009.
She was the first of her kind. He was the last of his. A female theatre dresser sparks a theatrical revolution in 17th Century London by going onstage to play Desdemona in Othello. Instead of throwing her in jail, King Charles II re-writes the law to let women act. Consequently, the most famous male portrayer of female roles in London loses his livelihood, his lover, and his sense of self...until fate and his desire for revenge give him the chance to take the stage again.Performances are as follows:
Friday, September 4 - 8 p.m. / (Followed by Opening Night Party) Saturday, September 5 - 8 p.m. / (Followed by Theatre Exchange) Friday, September 11 - 8 p.m. Saturday, September 12 - 8 p.m. Thursday, September 17 - 7:30 p.m. / 2 for 1 Thursdays Friday, September 18 - 8 p.m. Saturday, September 19 - 8 p.m. Sunday, September 20 - 2 p.m. / Matinee Thursday, September 24 - 7:30 p.m. / 2 for 1 Thursdays Friday, September 25 - 8 p.m. Saturday, September 26 - 8 p.m.
