It’s 1666 and the brightest, wittiest salon in Paris is that of
Celimene, a beautiful young widow so known for her satiric tongue she
been sued for it. Surrounded by shallow suitors, whom she lives off of
without surrendering to, Celimene has managed to evade love since her
beloved husband died- until today, when Frank appears. A traveler from
England known for his own coruscating wit and acidic misanthropy, he
turns her world upside-down, taking on her suitors, matching her barb
for barb, and teaching her how to live again. A wild farce of furious
tempo and stunning verbal display.</span></p><p class="m_4593132794736249424gmail-font_9" style="line-height:1.55em"><span class="m_4593132794736249424gmail-color_15"></span></p><p class="m_4593132794736249424gmail-font_9" style="line-height:1.55em"><span class="m_4593132794736249424gmail-color_15">LANGUAGE: There
is a fair amount of both profanities and obscenities used throughout
this ribald comedy, enough to qualify it for an “R” rating. The language
includes “damn,” “goddamn,” hell,” “sonofabitch,” variants of “fuck”
(used in a sexual reference), variants of “whore,” and other sexual
terminology. The play is written in rhyme!</span></p><p class="m_4593132794736249424gmail-font_9" style="line-height:1.55em"><span class="m_4593132794736249424gmail-color_15"></span></p><p class="m_4593132794736249424gmail-font_9" style="line-height:1.55em"><span class="m_4593132794736249424gmail-color_15"><span style="font-weight:bold">All Ethnicities are welcome and encouraged to audition</span></span></p><p class="m_4593132794736249424gmail-font_9" style="line-height:1.55em"><span class="m_4593132794736249424gmail-color_15"></span></p><p class="m_4593132794736249424gmail-font_9" style="line-height:1.55em"><span class="m_4593132794736249424gmail-color_15">FRANK
