In the wilds of 19th century Africa, the colonizers are restless in more ways than one. Friends and family flirt and fumble with power, gender, and sexuality, hilariously pushing against the boundaries of Victorian imperialism. Fast forward 100 years to the concrete jungle of London, where the Victorian legacy finally explodes in a blast of sexual awakening, self-acceptance and delectable humor. Caryl Churchill’s hilarious play, now a modern classic, fractures the conventional comedy in this wickedly funny, take-no-prisoners, carnal romp.
Directed by Vincent J. Cardinal, Artistic Director/Chair, Department of Dramatic Arts
