Join Echo Theatre as it continues its 10th Anniversary Celebration with THE LADIES OF THE CAMELLIAS by Lillian Groag, a hilarious love letter to the theatre centering on an imagined meeting between famous divas Sarah Bernhardt and Eleonora Duse. An insightful examination of art, politics, and what it means to “Act” is cleverly woven into the farcical collision of towering egos, monstrous talents, and fanatical political ideals. Rapier wits (as well as actual rapiers!) are employed as these marvelous creatures of the theatre confront true anarchy and an even more terrifying specter: the impending arrival of the “director!”
