"lee's miserables" by Clay McCleod Chapman to Premiere at Sycamore Rouge
"Theatrical Mash-Up" examines Civil War, Les Miserables
Sycamore Rouge will present the world premiere of lee's miserables by Clay McCleod Chapman, from November 3 to November 18. Performances run Fridays and Saturdays at 8 pm, and Sundays at 2 pm. Tickets to the production are $15, and may be purchased by calling (804) 957-5707, online at www.sycamorerouge.org, or at the door. Post- performance discussions will be led by Sycamore Rouge's literary manager kb saine, and will follow the Friday evening performances. Additionally, a number of area historical societies and Civil War interest groups will be presenting information and special exhibits in the Sycamore Rouge lobby, including the Quartermaster's Museum, Pamplin Park, The Museum of the Confederacy, Virginia's Retreat, Petersburg Battlefield, and th Army Women's Museum.
Set during the Siege of Petersburg, in the waning days of the American Civil War, lee's miserables follows a group of soldiers in the Army of Northern Virginia. As they are holed up in the trenches, Victor Hugo's novel Les Miserables begins to take center stage in their lives. Both physically and metaphorically, the book--and characters--of Les Miserables play an integral part in what may well be these young men's final days...
From the Trenches of the Civil War, They Escaped into an Epic Tale of Revolution...
"We're so honored to have the opportunity to present this play," said Christopher Shorr, Sycamore Rouge Artistic Director. "Clay's writing has attracted crowds from Richmond to New York, and we're confident we can do his words justice." The production is directed by Shorr. The cast includes Clifton Frei, Ted Carter, Adam Mincks, Matthew Shifflett, Dean Knight, Jeff Munn, Julie Roundtree, Jenna Neilsen, Jerry Long and Heriberto Vazquez II.
Sycamore Rouge will feature its raved-about menu, featuring the creations of world-class chef Scott Davison, from 5 pm on Fridays and Saturdays. Sundays, dining will be available from 1 pm.
