Arts + Literature Laboratory welcomes the Falconbridge Players, who will present a staged reading of Paris Bound, a banter-packed take on marital traditions and hot nights spent in France in a lover's arms, by Philip Barry on Tuesday, March 28 at 7:00pm. Free admission, RSVP appreciated at Eventbrite.
Jim loves Mary. Mary loves Jim. Jim and Mary get married.
Mary says she doesn't believe in monopoly, and by monopoly she means monogamy.
At first Jim plays it cool. Then Jim plays around with Noelle.
Now Mary wants a divorce.
Paris Bound (1927) is a terrifically modern comedy about the uneasy alliance of love, sex, and marriage, written by Philip Barry (1896-1949), author of The Philadelphia Story and Holiday.
We can't conjure up Hepburn and Grant on the silver screen for you, but we can do the next best thing. Paris Bound will be presented as a staged reading by an experienced cast of local performers for one night only.
