A Suthern Proposal

Presented by TheatrExpresso, an ongoing lunch-hour theatre group debuting in Downtown L.A., A Suthern Proposal is a romantic comedy based on Anton Chekhov’s one-act play The Marriage Proposal. Ian Jensen directs.

Edgar Teetwell III finally gets up the nerve to ask neighbor Stuart Earl Butts for the hand of his daughter Natalie Jo in marriage, but the romantic moment deteriorates into hilarious disagreements over swampland and hunting dogs. The play features off beat characters, dialogue peppered with funny Southern sayings and physical comedy.
