Table Manners

scribbsTable Manners, Alan Ayckbourn’s award-winning comedy, follows the intertwining lives of a group of siblings and their significant others during a weekend in the country. This sidesplitting farce explodes with lust, hysterics, and exasperation as three couples share a weekend in search of love, sex, and the meaning of marriage. A comic feast where chairs and food are scarce, but laughs are served aplenty…crippling you with laughter that shakes the body and more subversively, fractures the soul.”- The New York Times

Table Manners will at the Harriett Theatre from January 24- February 23. 2014. Showtimes are Thursdays-Saturdays at 7:30 p.m. and Sundays at 2:30 p.m. Tickets start at $28.25. For more information, visit Mad Cow Theatre’s website.

Joss Whedon’s Much Ado About Nothing is a modern retelling of Shakespeare’s classic comedy about two pairs of lovers with different takes on romance and a clever way with words. Winner of the National Board of Review’s Top Ten Independent Films award, the star-studded film features Amy Acker (as Beatrice), Alexis Denisof (as Benedick), and Nathan Fillion (as Dogberry). The Bard’s beloved comedy comes to life in this black and white masterpiece that the Chicago Sun-Times calls“swanky, sexy, and sophisticated, as bracing as a dry martini poured from a silver shaker on a summer night.”

Much Ado About Nothing runs 109 minutes and is rated PG-13 for some sexuality and brief drug use.
