WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Dashing young Reginald just wants to impress his fiancée from America. Unfortunately, his mother doesn't approve of the engagement, his father's just polished off a fifth of Scotch, and his eccentric Aunt Daphne doesn't want to keep her clothes on. And that's the GOOD news. A relaxing weekend in the country explodes into a tornado of scandal and surprise in this darkly comic tale of family, politics, and dirty little secrets.
When Aunt Daphne Went Nude, by Miriam Hendrix, is directed by Keith Oncale, and presented by Mirron Productions and Paul Lucas Productions.
There are additional performances on Wednesday, October 13 at 8pm and Wednesday, November 10 at 2pm and 8pm.
Groups of 15 or more save 30%. Call 212-352-3101.
