"Withering Looks" - a theatrical comedy! April 22, 2010

Are you addicted to Jane Eyre? Do you often wander through Wuthering Heights? A don’t-miss production for anyone who cares about the Brontës—or literature in general! Cygnet Productions presents Withering Looks, a frothy, irreverent homage to Charlotte and Emily Brontë, their eccentric family, their classic, beloved romantic novels, and the heather on the moors. Beginning April 22, this arch comedy asks—and answers—such questions as:

· Who is the Brontës’ mysterious neighbor, Mr. Moorcock of Ravaged Heath House, and what does the maniacal laughter coming from his attic mean?

· Is Anne Brontë really only 2’6” tall?

· Who should Cathy marry, Heathcliff or David Niven?



Withering Looks stars Vana O’Brien and Luisa Sermol, two of Portland’s favorite actresses and long-time Cygnet company members, and is directed by Louanne Moldovan, founder and artistic director of Cygnet.



Thursdays, Fridays and Sundays 7:30 pm, April 22–May 9
