New Theater Company Push Leg presents:

Mr. Darcy Dreamboat

World Premier at Ethos/IFCC

5340 N Interstate Ave, Portland, OR 97217

Performed in a highly inventive Lecoq-based physical theatre style, this literary romp is a mash-up of the books and characters we’ve grown up with.  From Nancy Drew – girl detective, to JD Salinger’s disenfranchised teenagers, from the romance and fantasy of Jane Austen, to T.S.Eliot’s “still point of the turning world.” Audiences embark on a journey through literary worlds they have known and loved.

Tickets: $15 (+ $1 service charge) General Admission

‘”Mr. Darcy Dreamboat” Although it was only the first 15 minutes of a work-in-progress, the excerpt of this solo show that Camile Cettina performed in January’s Fertile Ground festival was a joy to watch. In this paean to the power of reading, Cettina traces a path of literary discovery from Nancy Drew to Jane Austen and beyond, using a vivid physicality to convey the little pleasures and great transformations that come when a good book and a ready imagination meet and fall in love.’
