The Ladies of the Camellias is a funny and poignant look at the world of theatre and the stage, and wonderful people who inhabit it. Among them are actors, directors (whatever they are!), bomb-wielding anarchists and the famous writer, Alexander Dumas, fils. All are part of a wonderful ensemble that collide with sidesplitting results.

Very well written and well acted show. Premise could have easily lead to broad farcical venue but this didn't go down that path.
Large cast in a well staged space with only 50 seats made for an enjoyable theatre experience

A must see. The script was brilliant and witty. The actors totally inhabited their roles and were altogether wonderful. Costume, sets, lighting and sound all added to make it one of the most best theatrical evenings of my life.
