Affairs of State at Classic Theatre Festival

Legendary Broadway playwright and Hollywood screenwriter Louis Verneuil’s Aairs of State is a funny and intriguing story about the diplomatic  deals and double crosses behind closed doors in Washington, featuring a memorable love quadrangle that threatens the appointment of a new Under-Secretary of State. It’s fitting entertainment for Canada’s capital city where, political machinations are the life-blood of many a cocktail hour. Affairs of State invites us to revisit an age when satirical comedies were sophisticated, smart, sassy, insightful, and fun, with the wit and charm of the best Katharine Hepburn/ Spencer Tracy films. Runs Wed. to Sun at 1:30 pm, with 7:30 pm shows Wed., Thurs. & Sat.
