Marriage
an utterly improbable occurrence in two acts
by Nikolai Gogol
February 10 - February 26, 2012
From Nikolai Gogol, one of Russia’s most heralded writers, comes a poetic and hilarious seldom-performed fractured fairy tale about the business of marriage. A town matchmaker and a newly-betrothed busybody match wits in a race to marry off a gun-shy suitor. Calamity ensues and it’s anybody’s guess whether the bride will make it to the altar. Written in 1833, Marriage is as fresh and fun today as the day it was conceived.
“…beyond tragedy or comedy into a realm that might be called cosmic farce….”
“…luminous and hilarious…”
