Wonder of the World at The Barker Playhouse

Wonder of the World

by David Lindsay-Abaire

Directed by Richard Marr-Griffin

The final show of The Players’ 115th season is Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winning author David Lindsay-Abaire’s hilarious comedy Wonder of the World. Nothing will prepare you for the dirty little secret Cass discovers in her husband’s sweater drawer. It is so shocking that our heroine has no choice but to flee to the honeymoon capital of the world in a frantic search for the life she thinks she missed out on. It’s a wild ride over Niagara Falls in a barrel of laughs as Cass embarks on a journey of self-discovery that has her crossing paths with a blithely suicidal alcoholic, a lonely tour-boat captain, a pair of bickering private detectives, and a strange caper involving a gargantuan jar of peanut butter, all of which pushes her perilously close to the water’s edge.
