New Year, and a New Play

Happy New Year, fans!
I hope everyone had an enjoyable and relaxing holiday, and here's to a prosperous 2009! To start out the new year, Carol will be starting with a new play, Key for Two, by John Chapman and Dave Freeman.

In this wickedly amusing play, by two master craftsmen of comedy, Harriet, a divorcee living in an elegant flat in Brighton, solves her financial problems by entertaining two married gentlemen callers on different days of the week. The scheme faces collapse when her friend Anne, whose marriage is tottering, arrives at the flat hotly pursued by her husband. One of Harriet’s lovers is confined to her bed with a sprained ankle and the second lover turns up unexpectedly, closely followed by two irate wives in search of their itinerant husbands. The indescribable confusion that ensues builds to a rich complexity of mistaken identity, splendidly farcical situations and a climax of comic wizardry.(1)

Key for Two will be opening on January 23rd at the Riverfront Playhouse in Aurora. We do not have all the particulars as of yet, except that Carol will be playing the part of Magda, one of the irate wives, and the show will be Fridays and Saturdays, January 23rd - February 28th. Stay tuned for further details...
