ABOUT THE PLAY
Escape From the Asylum: A Madcap Mystery: Will the women outsmart the
men AGAIN?! Dual adventures ensue in this sequel to last season’s sell-out,
The Victorian Ladies’ Detective Collective. Three intrepid lady detectives hatch a plan to free a perfectly sane woman explorer shut away in an asylum by her husband. If that weren’t enough, they also try to identify who is stealing the explorer’s inheritance. Follow the clues to solve two mysteries amidst a Victorian seance, a pre-Freudian alienist, some cross-dressing, and barriers to gender equality at every turn. Welcoming back some of the Stage Guild’s Victorian Ladies cast and director! Area Premiere.
