September 17-21, 24-28- Ghostbird Theater presents: The Bald Soprano
In Eugène Ionesco's The Bald Soprano, Mr. and Mrs. Smith live quite comfortably in their English home with their English children and with their English maid. The chaotic Mr. and Mrs. Martin are late for supper. The Martins are not at all who they think they are. The Fire Chief and the maid busily rekindle their affair. The entire evening climaxes with a delightful orgy of non-sequiturs. Brittney Brady directs Ionesco's first work– a hilarious absurdist’s meditation on what we do and how we talk about it.
