October

| The
Francis Marion University Theatre's first mainstage production of the
2003-2004 season, to run October
22-25, will be Feiffer's People
by Jules Feiffer. A
unique conception by America's renowned humorist, cartoonist and
social satirist, Feiffer's People offers a characteristically
inventive
and flexible kind of experimental theatre. Made up of brief sketches,
monologues and playlets which are wildly funny yet bitingly acerbic in
the sharp observations that they provide on the state of the union and
the modern world in general. Feiffer's People uses the stage as a forum for projecting a wry and perceptive world-view, encyclopedic in its awareness of human frailty but always softened by the gentle balm of laughter. It provides the essential ingredients for a revue-type program of richly comic dimension, and magically suggests a variety of means for bringing this to life theatrically. |
