Tom, a working class orphan, is in love with the beautiful Sophia. Although her well-to-do father envies Tom's reputation as a daredevil and Casanova, he'd never consider letting his daughter marry such a scoundrel. The story of Tom's love for the beautiful Sophia; his everlasting feud with the despicable Allworthy heir, Blifil; the mad race to London, punctuated by the infamous night in the inn and the ill-fated masquerade ball are transferred to the stage in this dramatization. The History of Tom Jones is a vibrant, brisk play for adults and young adults that is presented in story-theatre style as a troupe of players unload their trunks, introduce themselves, and switch between characters at will. Although the play has strong farcical content, it also has elements of honest drama and romance. Fielding's novel has lived as a classic because of the author's perceptive analysis of human nature, with its inherent hypocrisy, selfishness, boorishness and indifference toward the welfare of others.
This will be a one night only performance, held on Friday, May 9th at 7 PM. General admission is $7, and tickets can be purchased online at:
