Full Price:
$40.00 - $52.50
Our Price:
$20.00 - $26.50

Set at the dawn of the Great Recession, this vaudevillian romp asks the question, "Does humanity have an expiration date?" While six hungry urbanites scramble for sustenance and cook up schemes for love and success, the beasts of agribusiness close in bringing of corruption and consumption. This provocative play looks at American enterprise and ingenuity at the beginning of the Obama age and wonders if there really is a viable alternative to capitalism. Sarah Marshall stars as the anthropomorphic "Big Hog," the ultimate capitalist underdog, along with Danny Escobar, Naomi Jacobson and an award-winning Washington cast. Learn More

Three excellent performances. Although, this was a preview the presentation was well-polished. It takes awhile to get used to the South African accents. This was not a long play. It was one act lasting a little more then an hour. But, it was an hour well-spent.

"Victory" is not an easy play to "like." Fugard (sp?) is very pessimistic about there ever being economic equality and justice in South Africa. However, the play has more universal implications - about the blowback from economic inequality and injustice everywhere in the world.

This is an excellent theater with a charming little cafe upstairs. The production was compelling and very well acted.

  • "This is vintage Fugard... teasing Sophoclean debate and drama from a gritty human situation... in dialogue as sharply honed and pared down as his best.” --The Independent
