Produced by Forward Theater Company, Going to St. Ives runs March 3 - 19, 2011 at Overture Center for the Arts at 201 State St. in Madison.

"May N'Kame, the mother of an African dictator, travels to England to see Dr. Cora Gage about medical treatment for her failing eyesight. During a pre-surgery consultation it becomes clear that both women have other agendas. The surgeon hopes to win the release of colleagues held captive in Africa, while the patient seeks the means to rid her country of her murderous son. May and Cora face difficult questions of personal ethics, global politics, and moral responsibility as they sip cups of tea and trade confidences across a wide cultural divide."

Tickets are $35 for adults and $25 for students/seniors. Tickets can be purchased by calling 608-258-4141 or online at overturecenter.com.
