UAA Theatre Presents He Who Gets Slapped
by Kathleen McCoy |
UAA Theatre and Dance present Leonid Andreyev's touching circus drama, He Who Gets Slapped, a mystical melodrama that intermingles slapstick and tragedy. This compelling production
tells the story of a betrayed scientist who becomes a clown in a bizarre circus and
triumphs by being slapped by other clowns. In spite of his popularity, his search
for love plunges him into violent confrontation. Written shortly before the Russian
Revolution, He Who Gets Slapped, remains a poignant social and political critique bursting with romance and physical
comedy. The production runs March 2 - March 18 in the Mainstage Theatre, Fine Arts
Building. For ticket information, call 786-4TIX.
