Zürich, 1917. In Tom Stoppard's Tony Award-winning comic masterpiece, obscure British diplomat Henry Carr and Dadaist Tristan Tzara are in love with Cecily and Gwendolen, but Cecily is in love with communism and someone named Jack. James Joyce stages a production of The Importance of Being Earnest, and the action gets heated when Vladimir Lenin bursts onto the scene. Soon everyone in neutral Switzerland is at war over the question, "What does it mean to be an artist and a revolutionary?"
Accessibility: This production will be performed at St. Stephen's Theater, 923 Ludlow Street in Center City Philadelphia.

We are, however, able to accommodate patrons with early seating or other special needs; please let us know how we may assist you.
