24 September 2012
Considering the the title of this weeks show, I will forgo my usual pithy opening remarks and jump straight to:
The Heinously Horrendous Heiress (or the detectivorial sleuthings of messrs. Moarcock and Morgenstern in regards to the seeminly seamless slaying of Madame Floorthwright and the consquences thereof)
Murder is afoot! Murder most funny! The psychotic duchess Hermia Hermous has offed her aunt, with plans to do in her sister next! The only detective with enough integrity, charm and hawk-like charisma to stop her, Mr Nathaniel Moarcock!... is nowhere to be found. Therefore, Devonshire will have to make due with his par-at-best assistant, Septimus Morgenstern. But when Septimus' college rival and ex-lover appear hand in hand on the scene, things become increasingly chaotic. All Septimus can hope for now is a
series of random, coincidental, and altogether amusing events that will aid him to find Hermia Hermous before she kills again!
The sequel to the hit "Vindictive Vice President", "The Heinously Horrendous Heiress" promises a night of chuckles and guffaws. Don't worry if you did not see the first play (shame on you), there are little to no ties to that plot line! So wether you're a long time follower of Nathaniel Moarcocks' misadventures, or you're just coming to see why there is a giant onion in the poster, Playwright Hero promises that you shan't be disappointed.
Directed by: Jimmy Karamanis
Written by: Jimmy Karamanis, Travis Henry Martin and Alexander Smith
Produced by: Playwright Hero
Running Sept 26-29th at 8pm (with a 2pm matinee on the 29th) 15$ regular 12$ with Student ID.
