Thursday, March 20, at 8:00PM
The Housekeeper by James Prideaux stars Maplewood residents, Brian Corrigan
and Bev Sheehan, in an old-fashioned, fast-paced comedy that'll leave you
laughing at the struggles of two flawed but lovable misfits.
Manley Carstairs (Brian), an eccentric middle-aged bachelor and self-styled
literary artist, has spent the last few years caring for his dear old
mother. Now that mom has passed on, Manley sets out to hire a "charming
little domestic, pretty and perky, agile and accommodating" to aid him
in
his concentration. Instead, he winds up with Annie Danworth (Bev), a
middle-aged oddball who worms her way into his hermetically-sealed little
world and turns it upside down.
Hilarity ensues as their relationship moves from gleeful anticipation to
murderous intent.
Performances at the Burgdorff Cultural Center, 10 Durand Rd. March 21, 22,
28, 29, 30, April 4, 5, 6, 11, 12, 13, Fridays and Saturdays at 8 PM,
