This timely reflection on history is a physical comedy dive into the late Baroque and flaunts 18th-century finery\, wigs\, panniers\, gestural styling\, elaborate ornamentation\, and the excesses of Rococo. The characters navigate dangerous curves of manners and the Age of Enlightenment from the exquisite to the revolting. Happenstance has great fun puncturing one percent pomposity and presents the poignant possibility of change. \n\n\n\nPlease Note: All Publick Playhouse ticket sales are final.
