'MOON OVER BUFFALO' Written by Ken Ludwig Directed by Ashleigh Haines April 2020 PRODUCTION Moon Over Buffalo By Ken Ludwig Directed by Ashleigh Haynes It is the summer of 1953, and the hilarious Moon Over Buffalo centres around fading broadway stars George and Charlotte Hay, who are performing Private Lives and Cyrano de Bergerac in repertory within their run-down touring company in Buffalo, New York. Disaster is imminent, on-stage harmony is compromised, relationships on the brink all caused by George’s dalliance with a young ingenue. All is not lost! Turns out that Frank Capra is headed to town on a talent scouting mission. Unfortunately for George and Charlotte, everything that could go wrong does go wrong, a visit from their determinedly practical daughter Rosalind, her clueless, anxious fiancé and a hilarious uncertainty about which play they’re actually performing, caused by Charlotte’s deaf, old stage-manager mother who hates every bone in George’s body all threaten the companies future. Dashing company actor and Rosalinds ex, Paul have to work together against all odds to get on stage for next performance. All the while Richard the wealthy lawyer is trying whisk Charlotte away and Charlotte just wants Capra to get them all back to broadway! The confusion only intensifies in this fast paced, farcical, screwball comedy. This play has been reviewed as a “valentine to the stage” with larger than life personalities that inhabit the world of theatre. |
