MPI_Is Life Worth LivingIS LIFE WORTH LIVING?
Presented by Mariemont Players Inc.
Nov. 7-23
Mariemont

Directed by jef Brown
Produced by Wayne Kirsch

Cast: Jack Williams as John Twohig, Barbara Karol as Annie Twohig, Traci Taylor as Lizzie Twohig, Michael Gettinger as Eddie Twohig, Arny Stoller as Peter Hurley, Stephanie Mooney as Helena, Collin Wenzell as Michael, Betsy Bossart as Christine Lambert, Gary Glass as Hector De La Mare, Jan Costello as Constance Constantia, Michael Ireland as John Hegarty, Dan Maloney as Tom Mooney & Art Kibby as William Slattery

A traveling repertory troupe comes to a small village in Ireland and after a week or so of Ibsen, Chekhov, and Strindberg, the town is driven mad. Is Life Worth Living? is a gloriously goofy satire that imagines the undesirable effects a steady diet of serious drama might have on the amiable residents of the provincial seaside town of Inish. Lennox Robinson’s pointed and charming comedy was originally produced in 1933 and successfully revived in 2009 by New York’s Mint Theatre company.

Grandson of the infamous Victor Frankenstein, Frederick Frankenstein (pronounced “Fronk-en-steen”) inherits his family’s estate in Transylvania. With the help of a hunchbacked side-kick, Igor (pronounced “Eye-gore”), and a leggy lab assistant, Inga (pronounced normally), Frederick finds himself in the mad scientist shoes of his ancestors. “It’s alive!” he exclaims as he brings to life a creature to rival his grandfather’s. Eventually, of course, the monster escapes and hilarity continuously abounds.

SPEECH AND DEBATE feels ripped from today’s headlines. What begins as a story of on-line stalking quickly snowballs into a play that is part mystery, part coming-of-age story; a smart comedy and an insightful reflection of what it means to be young in America today.

Admission is free, but reservations are required. Tickets become available at noon on Monday, Nov. 3. Visit the CCM Box Office or call 513.556.4183 to reserve. Limit two tickets per order.
