Mamai Theatre Company Closes its 2016 Season with the U.S. Premiere of Fanny Burney’s comedy, THE WOMAN HATER!
by Christine via NEohioPAL 25 Jul '16

25 Jul '16

THE WOMAN HATER By Fanny Burney Directed by Christine McBurney U.S. Premiere! Scenic Design by Don McBride Costume Design by Angelina Herin Lighting Design by Robert Peck Sound Design by Richard Ingraham Properties Design by Monica Plunkett AUGUST 18-SEPTEMBER 4 Cleveland Masonic Performing Arts Center <http://www.clevelandmasonicauditorium.com/> DeMolay Room, 3615 Euclid Avenue, Cleveland An absurdly satirical indictment of the excesses of both men and women, this 1802 comedy remained unproduced until 2003. When Sir Roderick is jilted by Lady Smatter, he proclaims himself a woman-hater and is determined to keep his young heir away from the opposite sex. Identities are mistaken, social pretensions are deliciously exposed, and the gender constructs of wifely and daughterly duties are boldly upended — bringing forth a new kind of heroine.
