Eugene Ionesco’s The Bald Soprano plays at the The Sheen Center for Thought and Culture from Sunday, October 11 – Sunday, November 1, presented by The Resident Acting Company, and directed by Bradford Cover.
One of the defining works of the Theatre of the Absurd, The Bald Soprano turns an ordinary evening among seemingly ordinary people into an increasingly hilarious collision of clichés, contradictions, non sequiturs and linguistic mayhem. More than 75 years after Ionesco first wrote the play, its skewering of empty conversation and the ways people talk without actually communicating may feel more recognizable than ever.
The cast features Rachel Botchan (Off Broadway: The Mulberry Tree, King of the Jews), Anique Clements (Off-Broadway: Julius Caesar, All’s Well That Ends Well), Dominic Cuskern (Broadway: Inherit the Wind), Dan Daily (Off-Broadway: Richard III), Carine Montbertrand (Off-Broadway: RAC’s MIDSUMMER) and Andy Paterson (Regional: The Devil’s Disciple).
Performance schedule: Oct 11- 17: Sunday at 2 PM; Tuesday – Saturday at 7 PM , Oct 18 – Nov 1: Tuesday – Wednesday at 2 PM; Thursday – Saturday at 7 PM; Saturday & Sunday matinee at 2 PM
Tickets are $33.85 (preview) / $65.87 (inclusive of fees) and can be purchased here.
