Written by Academy Award-winning Playwright, screenwriter and director Preston Sturges, “the father of screwball comedy,” STRICTLY DISHONORABLE was first produced on Broadway in 1929, where it ran for 557 performances with ticket sales remaining strong even after the stock market crash in October.
STRICTLY DISHONORABLE begins when free-spirited Isabelle, who was raised on a plantation in Mississippi, and Henry, her fiancé from West Orange, New Jersey step into a Manhattan speakeasy for a drink. Here they encounter Tomaso, the owner of the establishment, Mario, a waiter, Judge Dempsey, who lives above the speakeasy, Patrolman Mulligan, and the famous opera star, Count Di Ruvo. Isabelle finds these men enchanting. Henry does not. Where Isabelle and Henry spend the night and what happens the next day all have to do with the decision to play it safe or expand one’s horizons.
PERFORMANCE SCHEDULE:
WEDNESDAY thru SATURDAY @ 8 PM
