“The Men Commandments” @ The Garage

TIME: 7.30pm (Friday, Saturday), 2.00pm (Sunday).

This play was written by English writer, Sarah Quick, who formed Quick Change Theatre and was the Artistic Director of Globus Theatre at the Lakeview Arts Barn in Bobcaygeon. In the play, four women work as telephonists/receptionists at Rainbow Insurance, a company that covers a range of different biblical and other disasters (e.g., a life insurance claim by Mrs Lazerus). As we delve into their dating dynamics and marital misadventures we learn the rules of relationships as they apply to everyone whether gleefully single, blissfully married or on the quest to master the mechanics of the sexual dance. The men commandments are what the female member of the relationship needs to do to keep the male in the relationship (e.g., don’t bruise the male ego). All four women re on stage for the whole [play so there are a lot of lines for each to learn (eight scenes in the first half and five in the second).
