Tickets for Lord Arthur Savile’s Crime now available!
|
Kirk Players is thrilled to open their 54th season with Lord Arthur Savile’s Crime, adapted for the stage by Constance Cox, based on a short story by Oscar Wilde. The show opens on Friday, October 4 at 7:30pm, and is followed with matinees on Saturday, October 5 and Sunday, October 6 at 2pm. There will be another evening performance on Saturday, October 5 at 7:30pm.
This hilarious comedy, set in Victorian England, centers on the ill-conceived and farcically mis-executed plot of Lord Arthur to commit a murder, as foretold by his palm reader, before he marries the lovely Sybil Merton and enjoys a happy life. |
Only desiring a peacefully married life, Arthur tells his butler that he feels duty bound to get the murder over with before his marriage begins. “It would be unfair to Sybil if I murdered someone after we were married.” They end up partnering with a cheerful anarchist who loves bombs, but attempt after attempt fails. They plot, plan and conspire to bump off family members, and try to do it as properly as well-mannered English gentlemen can, but Arthur’s relatives remain blissfully and unwittingly alive!
