Full rehearsals begin December 28th based on actor availability. *Show Dates for:** February 5th - 21st. Fridays and Saturdays @ 8:00 PM and Sundays @ 3:00 PM* Show Information: This charming comedy features Elyot and Amanda, once married and now honeymooning with new spouses at the same hotel. They meet by chance, reignite the old spark and impulsively elope. After days of being reunited, they again find their fiery romance alternating between passions of love and anger. Their aggrieved spouses appear and a roundelay of affiliations ensues as the women first stick together, then apart, and new partnerships are formed. *CHARACTER DESCRIPTIONS: (**Please Note: ages are estimations.)* *Elyot Chase (30s/ 40s)-* a handsome, styish man. When the play begins, he is honeymooning at Deauville, France, with his second wife. Five years earlier, he had divorced Amanda, to whom he had been married for three tumultuous years, and then traveled around the world. When he sees Amanda again, he realizes that she is his true love. Together, they flee to Paris. Despite their bickering and fisticuffs, they remain reunited. Elyot, first performed by the playwright himself, represents the witty, irreverent, sophisticated Englishman that the playwright admired and saw himself as exemplifying. *Amanda Prynne (30s/ 40s)- *Elyot’s first wife, newly married to Victor Prynne. She, too, is honeymooning at Deauville as the play opens. She is the most vivacious character in the work. She is not only beautiful but also spirited, independent, and unconventional—a fit partner for Elyot. *Sibyl Chase (20s/ 30s)- *Elyot’s attractive, trophy bride. Conventional, unimaginative, and innocent, she is Amanda’s antithesis and suggests the playwright’s dim view of the “nice” English girl. She implies to Elyot that she will tailor life to suit his whims. *Victor Prynne (mid 20s/ 50s)- *a handsome man, less fashionable than Elyot. Stuffy and stodgy, he lacks a sense of humor. Like Sibyl, he is shocked by the elopement of Elyot and Amanda; when he and Sibyl catch up with the other couple, he chivalrously offers to divorce Amanda even though he deeply loves her. He wants to make over someone’s life and takes it upon himself to do so for his new wife. This drives her back into the arms of Elyot. Sibyl is his true soul mate, and their fierce quarreling at the end of the play, mirroring the battles between Amanda and Elyot, indicates that the conventional Victor will end up paired with her. *Louise (any)- *Amanda’s French-speaking (accent work will be required) maid. She makes a brief appearance in the third act. Her inability to speak English and her incomprehension of the bizarre occurrences in the apartment provide a number of laughs. The Cassidy Theatre is supported in part by the residents of Cuyahoga County through a public grant from Cuyahoga Arts & Culture. *If you have any questions, or concerns please contact the Cassidy Theatre Box Office at #440-842-4600 <440-842-4600>. The Cassidy Theatre Box Office is open Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Fridays 9:30- 3:30.*
