The show concerns a group of partying American college students, accompanied by their pretentious professors, who embark on a literary tour of England. With a crammed itinerary and barely enough time to digest the sites, their behavior devolves from appreciative to appalling in this hilarious comedy. Nelson's plays include Two Shakespearean Actors, Goodnight Children Everywhere, and Madame Melville.
The cast features Emily Bergl, Tom Cavanagh, John Cunningham, Fiona Dourif, Halley Feiffer, Enid Graham, Cristin Milioti, Pamela Payton-Wright, Anthony Rapp, Corey Stoll, and Todd Weeks.
The production has scenic design by Michael Yeargan, costume design by Jennifer von Mayrhauser, lighting design by Donald Holder, and original music/sound design by John Gromada. Edelstein's many directorial credits include Mourning Becomes Electra and A Skull in Conenmara.
