THE REGIONAL PREMIERE OF PLAYHOUSE CREATURES

by April De Angelis

A regional premiere for TEXAS!

November 7 – 23, 2024, at the MATCH

​​​

Our inaugural stage production is the regional premiere of the outstanding comedy, Playhouse Creatures, about five, real-world actresses who worked in London during the Restoration, when women were first “allowed” to appear on stage. This brilliant play, written by April De Angelis (a British playwright based in the U.K.) is routinely produced across the pond (including a recent production by the New Vic Theatre), but has never been performed professionally in Texas, until now!

​

A laser-focused look at the opportunities and dead ends women faced in 17 th century London, with parallels and resonance for us today, in the age of Me Too and Black Lives Matter;  these characters present a glittering and sometimes gut-wrenching glimpse into the lives of ambitious, passionate, striving women, navigating the highs and lows of the society and time into which they’ve been “plopped.” A work of raucous humor and unapologetic emotion that presumes no one is a villain, Playhouse Creatures invites us to widen our lens on how we view women.​
