Save $ -Preview Perf. for Moliere's A DOCTOR IN SPITE OF HIMSELF at Berkeley Rep
Berkeley Rep's Roda Theatre (map)
The play - THIS SHOULD BE A LAUGH RIOT!
Molière’s classic comedy comes to uproarious new life in a clever and contemporary adaptation from one of Berkeley Rep’s favorite artists. Steven Epp delighted audiences as Figaro and The Miser—now he’s back with A Doctor in Spite of Himself. The traditional story of a girl feigning illness to avoid an unwanted wedding erupts into hilarity when Epp decides to play doctor. In a pitch-perfect production punctuated with live music, this ridiculous physician proves that love and laughter remain life’s best medicine.
The buzz
“Smartly choreographed anarchy, combining old gags and new…For cheerful, nimble, bawdy silliness, this dish of meringue is hard to resist.”— Seattle Times “A fun night for everyone…Bayes’ take on Molière’s carnivalesque satire of the medical profession is a low-stakes fusion of commedia dell’arte and vaudeville—dry-rubbed with lewdness, scatology, pop music, and political incorrectness.”— Seattle Weekly “Bawdy and hilarious…It’s silly, clever, fast paced and the best time I’ve had in a theater in quite some time.”— Broadway World
