LIMITED ENGAGEMENT FOR L'ILLUSION COMIQUE
**** OFF BROADWAY **** L’illusion Comique Dry with a Twist Theatrics are pleased to announce their production L’illusion Comique, directed by Kevin P. Joyce. L’illusion Comique will play a three night limited engagement at Under St. Mark’s (94 Saint Marks PL., New York, NY 10009). Performances in New York begin Thursday, October 18 and continue through to Saturday, October 20. Opening Night is Thursday, October 18 (8 p.m.) L'illusion Comique is a 1636 play in verse by the French playwright Pierre Corneille. While being popular in French speaking countries, it is rarely performed in English speaking ones. In this fresh adapted translation, Corneille’s masquerade of buffoonery, betrayal, magic, masks and murder is set in the mysterious bayous of Louisiana. This production captures all the farcical intrigue of the original play, while adding a dash of Cajun spice to create a rollicking evening of theatre.
