last-minute theatre recc: OR @ Julia Miles on W. 55th

[ellenkushner]

If you love me (well, my stuff), go see OR by Liz Duffy Adams! GO TODAY to the 3 pm matinee - there are rush tix for $20 1 hr before the show and we were there yesterday to a half-empty house, so you should have no trouble getting seats.

International superspy & ardent playwright Aphra Behn, randy monarch Charles II & trousered Nell Gwynne mix it up with much gender confusion in a neo-Restoration comedy with streaks of Oscar Wilde, Tom Stoppard, Feydau, (of course, Behn herself), and many sharp lines about being a writer/actor - more opinions to come, but I know today's matinee will be easy pickings for rush $20 seats, so I rush to get this up & out for you.

And if you don't live in NYC, make plans to come - it's been extended through Dec. 13th, thanks to rave reviews.

I saw it and really had a great time! So much fun! Especially loved the set, which was gorgeous and the actors all seemed like they were having a great time!

Great recommendation

I saw and loved this--am planning to go again. It's not a surprise that I saw and loved this...I've got a giant room full of restoration history (including the complete AB), and my LJ (my inconvenient hours) is named after a line in an Aphra Behn poem...

Wow - you & Aphra were made for each other! We're seeing it again with a gang of friends on Monday 7th (the day before my big NYRSF reading - shoudl be inspiring!) - you?
