TRIUMPH OF LOVE (G)

 

July 8 - July 11
July 14 - July 18

Tickets!
 

Love can make a woman do strange things. Like lie about her past. Or give up her career for the man she loves. Or throw off her princessly raiment and disguise herself as a young man in order to infiltrate the guarded "men-only" palace compound of an exiled prince she's admired from afar, who is secretly plotting to murder her and usurp her throne. Such is the state of things in this hilarious, tongue-in-cheek, anachronistic adaptation of the classic Marivaux comedy "Triumph Of Love." If you liked last season's "Once Upon A Mattress", you'll love this season's Triumph Of Love.
