Stage West in Fort Worth opens The Norman Conquests this week

by Shawn Parikh

Last month, Echo Theatre presented a trilogy of plays running simultaneously over four weeks. This week, Stage West is doing something similar with The Norman Conquests. This week they are opening the first of three plays that will be presented in repertory from March 19 - April 26.

Alan Ayckbourn's three plays, Table Manners, Living Together, and Round and Round the Garden, will each open separately and then run in rep for three weeks. Plus, all three shows will be presented as a marathon on two days. One of Stage West's first blockbuster hits, this is not to be missed!

Directed by Jerry Russell and Jim Covault, the cast includes David Meglino, Emily Eldredge, Emily Gray, Justin Flowers, Lydia Mackay, and Mark Shum. Make sure to check out Stage West's official site for a podcast with the show's directors.

Preview ticket prices are $15, and regular prices are $24-28. The Marathon price includes dinner and dessert and costs $95 for general audience, $75 for students/seniors, and $20 for season ticket holders. Purchase tickets online or by calling 817-784-9378.
