Marin Shakespeare TRAVESTIES

Marin Shakespeare Company presents Tom Stoppard's "Travesties," opening July 9 to Aug. 15, 2010 / Previews are July 2, 3 & 4. This 1976 Tony Award winner for Best Play is an eclectic recipe of fact and farce spoofing Oscar Wilde's “The Importance of Being Earnest" and combining Wildean wit with the absurdity and profundity of Dadaist Tristan Tzara, Vladimir Lenin and James Joyce. Tom Stoppard whips up a dazzlingly clever, tasty dish about art and society that is funny, thought provoking and entertaining. Featuring William Elsman and Alexandra Matthew. Video featuring photos by Steven Underwood. "Travesties" is presented outdoors at Forest Meadows Amphitheatre, 1475 Grand Ave., Dominican University of California, San Rafael, Calif.
