Eugene Ionesco鈥檚 The Lesson at The Guild, April 2-4
Sheep-for-Wheat Productions is staging Eugene Ionesco's absurdist one-act play, The Lesson, at The Guild on April 2, 3 and 4 at 8:00 p.m.
The actors are Chris Doiron, Meaghan Blanchard, and Kelsey Moore. Stage direction is by Rob Reddin; stage management is by Ashley Clark; and the music is by Keith Baglole. Co-producers Fraser McCallum and Chera-Lee Hickox round out the company. Everyone involved is a past or present 91探花 student.
Written in 1951, the critically acclaimed play was one of the French playwright's most distinguished works, as well as one of the most notable in the history of the Theatre of the Absurd genre. It revolves around a strange study session between a naive young student (Blanchard) and a delirious yet powerful professor (Doiron).
Sheep-for-Wheat Productions is an independent theatre company based in Charlottetown. This is their second production after great success in staging the Harold Pinter drama, The Dumb Waiter.
Tickets are $12 and can be purchased in advance at the box office (902-620-3333) or at showtime. Come one, come all!
