Throughline Theatre to present CLOUD 9
The first act of Cloud Nine revolves around a British family in colonial Africa. Clive, the patriarch, rigidly maintains that his family perfectly embodies Victorian values but reality is more complex than he would like to admit. Act Two takes place in 1979 but features several of the same characters as Act One, thus highlighting the differences (and surprising similarities) of the Victorian and modern eras.

PICT Theatre Presents LADY WINDERMERE'S FAN, Now thru 7/27
Renowned Oscar Wilde expert Alan Stanford, PICT's interim Producing Artistic Director, will direct his adaptation of the great Irish playwright's comedy, Lady Windermere's Fan. Wilde's play, first produced in 1892 in London, satirizes the morality of Victorian society. Stanford has moved the setting forward in time to 1947; in post-World-War II London, Wilde's language and ridicule of high-society still resonate. Oscar Wilde was not so much a writer of polite English comedy, but rather a biting Irish satirist who lampooned the social absurdities and prejudices of the English upper classes, prejudices that lasted well into the Twentieth Century. This production, which runs tonight, July 11 through July 27, is PICT's third show of the season, and features a cast of 17 actors.
