WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Classic Stage Company presents The False Servant, by Pierre Marivaux. Lust, avarice, and a helathy dose of cross-dressing are all on fine display in this sly 18th century romp where a young girl dresses as a man to learn more about her husband to be.

Additional Performances: Sunday at 3:00pm only on April 3rd, 17th, and May 1st

The last time Classic Stage Company offered a Marivaux play was in 1994, when Michael Mayer directed so spiffy a version of The Triumph of Love that producer Margo (Hairspray) Lion commandeered Mayer for a musical adaptation. Depending on how Lion feels about continuing to musicalize investor-challenging Marivaux musicals, she might want to scope out CSC's newest Marivaux treatment. Artistic director Brian Kulick's canny mounting of The False Servant -- the French dramatist's play of greed, betrayal, and female brain-power -- emits its own strange verbal music.
