Compleat Female Stage Beauty: Bawdy, Historical Comedy-Drama by Jeffrey Hatcher

Full Price:
$20.00 - $30.00
Our Price:
FREE - $15.00

In 1661, when only men played women on England's theater stages, Edward Kynaston reigned supreme as London's most celebrated leading lady. But when actress Margaret Hughes persuades King Charles II to allow actual females to take the stage, the king's own courtesan, Nell Gwynn, and Kynaston's former dresser, Maria, become stars while Kynaston's career may be cut short -- spurring him down a path of revenge and reinvention. Jeffrey Hatcher's hilarious, yet poignant play was also adapted into the film Stage Beauty with Billy Crudup and Claire Danes. Learn More

It was one of the best hour and 20 minutes at a Theatre I've ever spent. The plays were great, the actors were great and it was just an all around fun evening. I don't want to give away anything but the plays all had some GREAT surprises. Check out this show it's A LOT of fun and has some unexpected turns. Loved it!!

What a great night! There were 5 very different shows and they were all really terrific. The evening started with a welcome from the Artistic Director and this theater is so different.

From what I got they only do original plays, most of them by LA playwrights.
Get this, they have done 80 something since last year.That was incredible to me.
The audience votes on the the shows and now she is making movies out of the audience's favorites.

I felt like I really was a part of this show and that was really fun.

It was a full house which always is exciting.
The writing was great, the acting terrific each cast worked so well together. Everything moved so smoothly between shows and they all fit together really well.
The whole night was a really fun experience.

This theater and what they are doing is definitely worth supporting.
I will positively go back.
Thank you Gold Star for letting me know about 3 Roses.

Being new to LA, I feel I have found a theater I would really like to support and act at for sure.

These amazing playwrights seriously deserve a better venue!

The direction was inexcusably bad. The acting was very uneven.

I hope that these California Authors take there work elsewhere: there are so many better, more deserving theater companies around Los Angeles that would love to have access to this material!

This show was one of the best of its kind. Something different in each act, just long enough to kept us on our toes.
