GOOD THEATER OFFERS ‘GRAND’ GURNEY
PORTLAND — Good Theater has announced the New England premiere of A.R. Gurney’s charming and funny “The Grand Manner” directed by Brian P. Allen, will play Nov. 6-24.
In 1948, playwright A.R. Gurney, then a young boarding-school student, traveled to New York where he attended a performance of Shakespeare’s Antony and Cleopatra. Going backstage afterwards to meet the production’s star, the great stage actress Katharine Cornell, who was dubbed “The First Lady of the American Stage” by the legendary critic Alexander Woollcott. A mix of remembrance and imagination, “The Grand Manner” is a love letter to this fabled actress and a heartfelt look back at the glorious heyday of the Broadway theatre.
Good Theater is at the St. Lawrence Arts Center, 76 Congress Street. For tickets and performance schedule, call 207-885-5883 or go to www.goodtheater.com.
