MARRIAGE by Nikolai Gogol
Idiopathic Ridiculopathy Consortium
Wednesday, February 8 through Sunday, February 26
The Idiopathic Ridiculopathy Consortium presents MARRIAGE. From Nikolai Gogol, one of Russia’s most heralded writers, comes a poetic and hilarious seldom-performed fractured fairy tale about the business of marriage. A town matchmaker and a newly-betrothed busybody match wits in a race to marry off a gun-shy suitor. Calamity ensues (reminiscent of Chekhov) and it’s anybody’s guess whether the bride will make it to the altar. Written in 1833, MARRIAGE is as fresh and fun today as the day it was conceived. February 8 – 26, 2012. Previews: Wednesday February 8 and Thursday February 9 at 7:30pm. Preview tickets $15. Opens Friday, February 10 at 7:30pm. Runs Tuesday through Saturday at 7:30pm, Sunday at 2:30pm. Tickets $20.00.
