About the Play:
Who doesn’t know the eternal trickster Figaro?! The Pennyless Players are now putting him on stage – where he belongs – in this brilliant new adaption of Beaumarchais’ The Marriage of Figaro (1778), this time entitled simply Figaro. As the Associated Press NEW YORK puts it: “Figaro was a character who spoke truth to power, with sharp humor as his best weapon. Thanks to playwright Charles Morey, we’re seeing his “Figaro-ian schemes” in a fresh light – irreverent, gleeful fun!”
Figaro is in love and about to get married to his one and only, Suzanne. He couldn’t be happier! If it wasn’t for Count Almaviva who will only agree to sign the marriage contract should the beautiful bride agree to grant him certain favours. Figaro has to act quickly and come up with a fail-safe plan but with everyone else plotting to come between him and his bride, he will need all his cunning to make it down the aisle without disastrous consequences. Will his plans work out?
A colourful cast of plotting and scheming characters in a beautiful baroque setting make this play a feast for the eyes, and a sharp socio-political edge provides food for thought! But wait a minute – what do watermelons have to do with anything? Find out in January 2014!
