SACRED BLOOD and THE BOOR
An Evening of Comedy & Tragedy...
TWO ONE-ACT PLAYS BACK-TO-BACK!
SACRED BLOOD, by Zinaida Gippius. Directed by John Chase.
"Blood runs cold in the veins of a RUSALKA - the mermaid of Russian lore. This mature drama tells the tale of one who forsakes her own kind to have a human soul ... and sacrifices everything to learn the meaning of love."
THE BOOR, by Anton Chekhov. Directed by Tony Frost.
"A boorish creditor wants his money today, a headstrong widow won't pay until tomorrow, and one poor servant is caught in the middle... A battle of the sexes may come to pistols in this explosive Chekhov comedy!"
