Vanity Fair
About The Event
Becky Sharp never blushes. As the wily Becky and her gentle friend Amelia scale social ladders and hurdle the whims of fate, only one question matters: how do you get what you want in life? A bright dance hall pageant poking fun at all our pretenses, this new adaptation harnesses the frivolity of Thackerayās novel while recasting its (anti) heroines as complex, vibrant women, delivering āa gift to actors and a goody bag for its audienceā (The New York Times). Acclaimed playwright Kate Hamill (Sense and Sensibility,Ā The Wall Street Journalās Playwright of the Year 2017) brings her signature quick wit and distinctly unfussy retelling of classic work to one of literatureās most celebrated novels.
Runtime: 2 hours 30 minutes with one 15 minute intermission
