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

Mr. Fry was captivating from the beginning to the end. Funny, charming and very touching. Run, don't walk to get tickets before they sell out! A thoroughly enjoyable evening and I found myself wanting more when the show was over.Written on Feb 09 2009

This touching account of one teacher's struggle with himself and his students rings true. One-man shows are not always easy to sit through, but 'Mister Fry' keeps us engaged. More than just a commentary on the challenges faced by educators today, Fry brings colorful characters to life with humor, candor and raw emotion. Highly recommended for anyone who has ever been a teacher or a student, so pretty much everyone.Written on Feb 08 2009

I thought this show might be boring as some one-star-shows are, and I don't work in the educational system. But Mr. Fry is humorous and poignant. His stories are rich and the show moves along quickly. This isn't a one-man show; it's one man filled with multiple characters brought to life.Written on Feb 23 2009
