Off-Broadway's New Comedy with a Twist
Now Circa Then
By Carly Mensch
Directed by Meredith McDonough
Lucie Stern Theatre
March 7—April 1, 2012
West Coast Premiere
In this delightfully quirky comedy, two mismatched historical re-enactors play an immigrant couple from the 1890s at a New York Tenement Museum. Opposites attract, romance blooms, and with hilarious results, each tumultuous turn of their private lives is reflected in their public reenactments. As their on and offstage personas intertwine, they soon discover the perils of living too long in the past. Contains occasional adult language.
“Incredibly engaging…a twisty, humorous tale of significance.” TheaterMania
