In this absurdist masterpiece by Eugène Ionesco, King Berenger (James Ridge) is at the helm of a world in decline and is having trouble accepting his fate. His first wife Marguerite (Tracy Michelle Arnold) wants him to face his mortality, while his second wife, Marie (Cassia Thompson), tries to shield him from the bad news. Meanwhile an eccentric mix of servants (APT favorites John Pribyl and Sarah Day) weigh in from the sidelines, with varying degrees of helpfulness. A very funny and deeply moving look at the end of it all.
June 26-Sept. 27.
Featuring Tracy Michelle Arnold, Sarah Day, Casey Hoekstra, John Pribyl, James Ridge, Cassia Thompson
