What would happen if the Beatles, Shakespeare, Mel Brooks, and Monty Python were all thrown together in a Master Chef kitchen?
That's exactly what's cooking at the Ice House Theater Project! Come see "Courting, or Henry V Part 2.0" under the Direction of Tom and Beth Brooks and Assistant Director Paul Salinas. Produced by the Morgan Arts Council and Co-Produced by Scott J. Riley.
This monumentally outrageous farce won Best New Play from Broadway World in 2023. This hilarious and bawdy play written by Hay Nonny Moose, revolves around a little key. A very important key. King Henry has traveled to the Castle of Lady Mary Moore to inform her of her husband's death. While there, he loses the key to his newly wedded bride's chastity belt.
Chaos erupts as the castle staff and the entire king's company frantically search for the missing key. In the process, several other love interests emerge. Typical Shakespearean love plots, sword fights, innuendos, famous quotes, and comedy all round out "Courting".
Come and enjoy the local talent, the laughs--and the beer! The playwright's recipe, SaxXxon Steed Ale, is specially brewed by Berkeley Springs Brewing, and is on sale at each production. (Valid I.D. required for purchase.)
