Into The Breeches at The Players at Barker

Into The Breeches

by George Brant

Directed by Vince Petronio

The Players’ 115th season opens with George Brant’s comedy Into The Breeches. It is 1942 and the majority of the men in town are gone, fighting in World War II. Maggie Dalton, wife of the long-time director of the Oberon Play House, takes it upon herself to produce an all-female Henriad, an epic production blending several of Shakespeare’s history plays. Maggie assembles a diverse team united in desire, if not actual theater experience. As the cast and crew make their way through rehearsals, all the while missing their husbands and longing for word from the front, they push forward—finding strength in each other and their common goal. Together they find the courage to go boldly “into the breeches!”
