Lisbon HS Thespians Prepare for One-Act Festival‏

LISBON HIGH SCHOOL THESPIANS PREPARE FOR ONE-ACT COMPETITION

Lisbon - In preparation for the annual MPA One Act Play Festival, Lisbon High School Drama Club proudly presents The Boor, by Anton Chekhov.

This short farce written in 1888 shows the characteristics of the genre in its rapid-fire dialogue, extreme emotions, chaotic arguments and surprising reversals. Anton Chekhov demonstrates how intense emotions can easily blend from one into the other.
  
A widow, who mourns for her husband seven months after his death, is approached by one of his creditors, a man in dire financial circumstances who desperately requires the money that the widow's husband owed him. The exchange between the widow and the creditor quickly progresses from polite to an explosive battle of the sexes, and the creditor, who expresses his negative opinion of women in general, is transformed by the spirit with which the widow argues with him.
   
Performances on Friday, March 2nd and Saturday, March 3rd at Lisbon High School, 2 Sugg Drive in Lisbon Falls at 7:00pm and the Festival Performance will be held on Saturday, March 10th between 12:00- 4:00pm at Leavitt Area High School.
