This comedy, in the British farce tradition, has been
called “the funniest farce ever written.” Audiences will
be treated to the story of a hapless British acting troupe
touring a production of a farce called Nothing On. “The
most dexterously realized comedy ever about putting on
a comedy,” this is physical comedy at its best!

Michael
Frayn

Back-stabbing, spying, double-crossing, and rampant infidelity–just a
typical family Christmas for the Plantagenets, England’s royal family. This
ingenious play pits King Henry II against his strong-willed wife, Eleanor
of Aquitaine, and their three sons in a struggle to determine who will
be the heir to the throne of England. This 12th century intrigue “…is
glorified in language that is brilliant…” with a Shakespearean gift for truly comic repartee.
By James Goldman
Book by Richard Morris and Dick Scanlan
New Music by Jeanine Tesori
New Lyrics by Dick Scanlan
