The richest woman in England made just one promise to her father – to only marry a man who could turn 150 pounds into 50,000 in six months. But she falls for an Egyptian doctor who made a promise to his mother – to only marry a woman who, beginning with 35 pence, can support herself for six months. Now what? Epifania Ognisanti di Parerga is surely one of the most outrageously monstrous characters in theatre lore – and yet we end up rooting for her. Perhaps because she is saying out loud what many of us feel compelled to keep inside! —Jackie Maxwell The play is recommended for ages 14 and up. |
