BOSTON MARRIAGE - An Off the Shelf reading

February 23, 2023

Tacoma Little Theatre's Off the Shelf program is excited to present David Mamet’s Boston Marriage, directed by Marilyn Bennett and featuring some of the Pacific Northwest’s finest actors.  This production will play Thursday, March 9, 2023, at 7:30pm.

Anna and Claire are two bantering, scheming “women of fashion” who have long lived together on the fringes of upper-class society. Anna has just become the mistress of a wealthy man, from whom she has received an enormous emerald and an income to match. Claire, meanwhile, is infatuated with a respectable young lady and wants to enlist the jealous Anna’s help for an assignation. As the two women exchange barbs and take turns taunting Anna’s hapless Scottish parlor maid, Claire’s young inamorata suddenly appears, setting off a crisis that puts both the valuable emerald and the women’s futures at risk. To this wickedly funny comedy, Mamet brings his trademark tart dialogue and impeccable plotting, spiced with Wildean wit.

Boston Marriage features the talents of: Marilyn Bennett (Anna), Annie Green (Claire), and Emily Cohen (Catherine)

Tickets for the March 9, 2023 performance at 7:30pm are $10.00 for non TLT Members, and FREE for those who are members. Tickets may be purchased online at www.tacomalittletheatre.com, or by calling our Box Office at (253) 272-2281.
