The Mad Bid presented by Head Trick Theatre
June 13 @ 6:00 pm - 7:00 pm
Rochambeau Library – Patio
THE MAD BID by Madame Ulrich, newly translated by Rebecca Maxfield, a play reading.
Meet the most popular man in Paris: he’s hot, he’s rich, he’s stylish, and he doesn’t exist.
“He” is Angélique, in disguise to court Madame Argante, who has refused to let her son Éraste and Angélique get married. It’s go time: before the end of the day, the young couple will have enlisted a bunch of other people in increasingly ridiculous disguises, plus a whole lot of money, for true love to come out on top.
Head Trick Theatre is a performing group based in Providence, RI that puts on innovative productions of classic plays with a focus on the importance of liveness.
