Margherita at State Department

Margherita performed at United States Department of State in Dean Acheson Auditorium. New York City production with Browne Nederlander to follow.

Dear Tony- It was nice to meet the cast today, in what I think is a very delightful play. Light and airy, like only a romance story can be, surprisingly makes politics take a step back. The leading lady is fantastic at what she does. i am sorry for those who missed an hour of good, historical, sophisticated and civilized entertainment ( for free ), simply because they did not get the word in time? However, you should know that audiences at DOS are never guaranteed, especially when there are other competing events going on in the building. We are looking forward to Part II. Please e-mail me the flyer as soon as you have it ready, so that I can help circulating them in peripheral areas of Foggy Bottom. Cheers, and thank you very much for bringing your art to our midst.

Only
three bizarre and confused characters, plus an elusivecaptain, appear in this
two-act drama about a cruise on a small exclusive cruise ship, The Botticelli,
which sails around the east coast of Africa along the warm Indian
Ocean . Bernard Sheed Phillips, late forties, is taking his
fortieth cruise. Boo, now on her tenth cruise, early forties ,five times
married likes her gin. Cognac
, scotch, bourbon, martinis, but anything will do. And Arthur, the
accommodating Somalian waiter is very obliging toward both. They seem to like
him too. Bernard proclaims he’s more than one person. She enjoys being on deck
and reading her favorite novelist and philosophic guru, J. B. Roehard. Bernard
likes her legs. Arthur seems secretive. They cruise toward dangerous ports with
revolutions, terrorists, and pirates. All rumors of course. They each claim
they want nothing. But then pirates invade the ship. And more happens
