Like many 4-year-old girls, Lucy -- the protagonist of Noah Haidle's dark comedy -- has an imaginary friend. Unlike most imaginary friends, Mr. Marmalade happens to have a cocaine addiction, a drinking problem, and a temper. Mr. Marmalade is a savage black comedy about what it takes to grow up in these difficult times.

After the Fall: Rarely Produced Classic by Arthur Miller from HumanArts Theater Company

Full Price:
$25.00
Our Price:
$12.50

Based on the playwright's life and considered one of Arthur Miller's most personal plays, After The Fall follows a man on his quest to make peace with his own history and with the tumultuous world around him. This experimental portrait of a man struggling with the choices he has made in his public and private life examines the personal, political and universal forces that collide when we "fall" from innocence. Following the death of his second wife, Quentin tries to move forward, but he must also relive childhood losses, failed marriages and the effects of the 1950s' Blacklist. This rarely produced classic is presented by the HumanArts Theater Company. Learn More

A treat of a show. Local acting doesn't get better than this. An all around terrific cast, excellent play that mixes it up between belly laughs and dark shadows. And all the time you know this play and its wild and mundane imaginings is also about YOU.

See it!!

Absolutely loved it! Did not know quite what to expect, and was delighted! The acting was superb and I would recommend it to friends and would go again!

Parking is free after 6pm on Mission St. The venue is pretty relaxed and intimate, and we didn't get out tickets until 7:30. AND, you can bring your coffee in with you! :)

If you have the chance go to see this before it closes. Once again I wish there was a 3.5 star option... I don't want to just give away those 4s. The writing was clever and funny, and the acting was terrific.

What a concept! Quite well acted especially the lead. Set was also great! A bit of a stretch that this is in a 4 year old's head, seemed more like at least six.
