Will Geer Theatricum Botanicum (Topanga, CA)
The Will Geer Theatricum Botanicum presents George Bernard Shaw’s romantic comedy Heartbreak House. On the eve of World War I, a weekend in the English countryside becomes a tangle of unlikely attachments and unwanted complications — romance springs eternal but is never mutual, and the most successful relationships have the least to do with love. The house in question is that of Captain Shotover – retired ship captain, current inventor, and opinionated eccentric. His daughters have married badly in his eyes – one to a dim-witted plodder, one to a sharp-witted layabout. Enter into the house one Ellie Dunn, daughter of a failed businessman, who intends to marry the ruthless capitalist who ruined her father…for reparations, if for nothing else. The husbands, the fathers, the wives, the daughters, the aging playboy, and even a burglar all come together in “this silly house, this strangely happy house, this agonizing house, this house without foundations.” Enjoy an evening of wit, romance and unforgettable characters under the stars in the Theatricum’s beautiful outdoor amphitheatre.
