Gates-Abegglen Theatre [Oxford]
Directed by Bekka Eaton
Inspired by a true story, Bright Star tells a sweeping tale of love and redemption set against the rich backdrop of the American South in the 1920s and ’40s. When literary editor Alice Murphy meets a young soldier just home from World War II, he awakens her longing for the child she once lost. Haunted by their unique connection, Alice sets out on a journey to understand her past—and what she finds has the power to transform both of their lives. With beautiful melodies and powerfully moving characters, Bright Star is as refreshingly genuine as it is daringly hopeful.

In a fantasy world where people have wings, Lyf lives an isolated existence. Though loving, Lyf’s parents have strict rules he must follow about avoiding strangers, covering his wings with a cloak, and always observing rule number one: never, ever try to fly. Will Lyf be grounded forever, or will the truth he discovers from a pair of young outsiders empower him to take flight? This coming-of-age story is a bittersweet, yet hopeful, tale that tackles the issue of parental disability with gentleness and grace.

THE PLAY THAT GOES WRONG
Miami University Theatre
April 26-30
Gates-Abegglen Theatre [Oxford]
The Cornley Drama Society takes over our stage with their performance of the 1920’s whodunnit The Murder at Haversham Manor. For this inept troupe of thespians, each moment ushers in a new catastrophe – broken props, missed lines, and even an unconscious leading lady! Luckily for us, their slapstick struggle to overcome and get the play back on track is utterly hysterical. Prepare for one of the funniest nights you’ll ever have at the theatre!
