  Peterborough Players present 'The Breath of Life.'
Peterborough - "The play is one of Hare's finest" A play that is bitterly funny and often deeply affecting." Daily Telegraph Drama by David Hare. Gauguin‚s epigram, "Life being what it is, one dreams of revenge," serves as the motto for this tale of two women whose lives are interwoven in ways neither of them yet understands. When one shows up at the other‚s rural English flat, the result is a surprising meditation on what can emerge when tow people with an unknown shared history finally confront each other. The events of this single night come to echo the hidden course of their lives. Rated PG-13

  Little Shop of Horrors
Peterborough - Little Shop just nailed that sensibility, that certain mix of classical musical comedy style and what is but is never supposed to be called " a camp‚ sensibility. ˆ The New York Times A musical with book and lyrics by Howard Ashman, music by Alan Menken. A down-and-out skid row floral assistant named Seymour suddenly becomes an overnight sensation when he discovers an exotic plant with a mysterious craving for fresh blood. Soon "Audrey II" grows into an ill-tempered, foul-mouthed, R&B singing carnivore who offers Seymour fame and fortune in exchange for feeding its growing appetite. One of the longest running Off-Broadway shows of all time, this affectionate spoof of 1950s sci-fi movies has become a household name, thanks to a highly successful film version and a brilliant musical score.

  Heartbreak House
Peterborough - Shaw's bracing analysis of a civilization in decline seems more valuable than ever. Almost a century after it was written, Heartbreak House provides a keen comic rebuke to cynicism, self-indulgence, and detachment.'  The New York Times Comedy by George Bernard Shaw This classic play is a dazzling, bittersweet look at an affluent, ineffectual society on the brink of profound social change a timeless theme. Humorous, biting, and remarkably topical, Heartbreak House is considered one of Shaw‚s greatest plays. Subtitled "A Fantasia in the Russian Manner on English Themes," Shaw adroitly skews the British gentry in the months leading up to World War I in this very funny yet poignant classic. Rated PG.

  The SantaLand Diaries
Peterborough - 'Priceless observations, both outrageous and subtle. Destined to hold a place in the annals of American humor writing.ˆ The New York Times A comedy by David Sedaris, adapted by Joe Montello Best enjoyed when holiday stress is a distant glimmer, The SantaLand Diaries is a witty evocation of life as a Macy‚s elf during the holiday crunch. At first the job is simply humiliating, but once thousands of visitors start pouring through Santa‚s workshop and an endless stream of Santas take turns ordering him around, Crumpet the Elf (played by Kraig Swartz) becomes battle-weary and bitter. As Christmas Eve and his last day of employment draws near, will Crumpet find a moment of Christmas spirit and goodwill? Rated PG-13
