Ah, Wilderness! is the world renowned dramatist Eugene O’Neill’s only comedy and captures his vision of an idyllic childhood in turn-of-thelast-century Connecticut.

Through this play we return to an idyllic age of Americana in Eugene O’Neill’s unabashedly romantic and sweetly funny Ah, Wilderness!

As the Connecticut-based Miller clan plans their traditional Fourth of July festivities, their dreamy-eyed middle child Richard is wrestling with cultural conventions, political uncertainty, the power of literature, and the exquisite pain of love. e memories of family life were never so delicately portrayed as in O’Neill’s aectionate comedy, his coming-of- age love letter to a simpler time.

As the world races towards catastrophe, a crowd of Mayfair socialites party their way to oblivion.

At its centre is David, who idles away his sober moments researching a futile book until the beautiful Helen decides to save him, shattering his marriage and learning too late the depth of both David’s indolence and his wife’s undeclared love. But with finances about to crash and humanity on the brink of global conflict, the drink keeps flowing and the revellers dance on.

Terence Rattigan’s masterpiece offers a subtle, witty unmasking of the hedonistic 20s generation and a devastating study of repression and the human heart.

McMurphy (played on Broadway by Kirk Douglas) is a charming rogue who contrives to serve a short sentence in an airy mental institution rather than in a prison. This, he learns, was a mistake. He clashes with the head nurse, who is used to ruling with a rod of iron. Quickly, he takes over the yard and accomplishes what the medical profession has been unable to do for twelve years; he makes a presumed deaf and dumb Indian talk. He leads others out of introversion, stages a revolt so that they can see the world series on television, and arranges a rollicking midnight party with liquor and girls. For one offence, the head nurse has him submit to shock treatment. The party is too horrid for her and she acts with devastating consequences.

25-30 October 2010

A sharp and poignant comedy about how romantic love,mother love and friendship affect one woman. It follows the successful celebrity hairdresser, Barbs Marshall. She has her own TV show, a nice flat, but she’s 39 and her biological clock is ticking. Will she find someone willing to oblige her?

Thank you to those who joined us to celebrate 150 years of Chekhov with a new production of The Cherry Orchard based on David Lan’s translation. Directed by Antonia Doggett, with Lighting Designed by Ian Irving and a Set Designed by Margot Traynor. The play was costumed by Kate McNeil.

Synopsis

Set in late-19th-centrury Russia, a domestic dispute over an inherited cherry grove sets the scene for Chekhov’s last play, a commentary on class struggle as old and new orders clash. This timeless drama evokes loss, longing, and the relentless passing of time.
