bold_primadonna

The Department of Slavonic Studies warmly congratulatesÌýMaria Montague and Danielle Craig (who are both studying Russian and Ukrainian) for their work on aÌývirtuosic French-language production of Eugene Ionesco’s absurdist rompÌýThe Bald Prima Donna (La Cantatrice Chauve, 1950) at the Corpus Playroom. . ‘Directed by Maria Montague, both staging and pacing, in the intimate setting of the Corpus Playroom, are acrobatically handled…ÌýMad, energetic and outrageous, this show provides anÌýessential perspective on human relations. And in the spirit of cliché, it is safe here to say that it is side-splittingly, belly-achingly, rip-roaringly funny. Not only that, but you might just be persuaded that these characters make more sense than we do.’
