About
A double bill of one-act comedies, Sister Mary Ignatius Explains It All for You and The Actor’s Nightmare by Christopher Durang opens the season for Rutgers–Camden Theater, November 3-6. Durang, who won the 2013 Tony Award for Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike, is considered one of America’s leading comic playwrights. The cast features current Rutgers students, and is directed by Associate Professor of Theater Paul Bernstein.
In Sister Mary, a teaching nun who is much concerned with sin delivers an outrageous cautionary lecture that is interrupted by her former students until they drive her to violence. The Actor’s Nightmare is a dreamscape in which an accountant named George Spelvin, who is mistaken for an actor’s understudy, is forced to perform in a play for which he does not know any of the lines.
