SF Playhouse Extends SHE STOOPS TO COMEDY
By: Gabrielle Sierra
She Stoops to Comedy is an examination and deconstruction of theatrical convention, even the script of She Stoops to Comedy - and, thus, the very lives of the characters in it - is completely a work in progress, open to reinvention, reinterpretation, and even rewriting at the slightest whim. The line between actor and character is blurred, the distinctions between reality and theatricality are eliminated, and the significance of gender and sexual identity explored from practically every conceivable angle.
Actress Alexandra Page (Liam Vincent) schemes to woo back her estranged female lover (Sally Clawson) by playing Orlando opposite her lover's Rosalind in a summer-stock production of Shakespeare's As You Like It.SHOWTIMES: Tuesday 7pm, Wednesday through Saturday at 8 p.m., plus Saturdays 3p.m. (no show 12/24, 25 or 1/1). Additional 3pm matinees added on Wednesday 12/23, and Sundays 12/27 and 1/3.
