The Ladies of the Camellias
September 15, 2007
By Lillian Groag, a hilarious love letter to the theatre centering on an imagined meeting between famous divas Sarah Bernhardt and Eleonora Duse. An insightful examination of art, politics, and what it means to “Act” is cleverly woven into the farcical collision of towering egos, monstrous talents, and fanatical political ideals. Rapier wits (as well as actual rapiers!) are employed as these marvelous creatures of the theatre confront true anarchy and an even more terrifying specter: the impending arrival of the “director!”
Pay-what-you-can Thursday nights. Special "Sunset on the Lago" on September 30 - $30 for dinner, drinks, and the show. Free drinks at Cafe Lago when you enjoy dinner before attending any Friday or Saturday performance. Talkback with special guest, Dr. Gretchen Smith, Associate Professor and Head of Theatre Studies at SMU after the show on September 21.
Purchase tickets online, by calling 214-904-0500, or by e-mailing echoreservations@att.net.
