STUDIO THEATRE JULY 31 TO SEPTEMBER 20 THE ENTERTAINER JOHN OSBORNE JACKIE MAXWELL, Director

A brilliant exposé of 1950s postwar England seen through the eyes of fading music hall performer, Archie Rice. As we veer from gin-soaked family arguments to Archie’s increasingly desperate onstage turns, an England on a precipice is revealed, a nation unable to find its place in what is clearly a new world.

“Join us in a new venture as we open a new performance space with the searing words and music of theatre’s original Angry Young Man, and propel ourselves out of our original mandate with John Osborne, a writer who is a natural successor to Shaw, Coward and the many other lions and lionesses whose works provoke, question, and disturb.” Jackie Maxwell
