(MADISON, NJ) -- The Shakespeare Theatre of
New Jersey's 2013 Season continues with the provocative romantic comedy
Tovarich. This long-forgotten treasure, by French playwright Jacques
Deval, and adapted by the great American author Robert E. Sherwood,
begins performances on August 7th at The Shakespeare Theatre's Main
Stage The F.M. Kirby Shakespeare Theatre. Tickets range from $35 to
$70; student rush tickets are available 30 minutes prior to curtain for
$15. For tickets or more information, call 973-408-5600 or visit www.ShakespeareNJ.org .
Written by Jacques Deval in 1933, Tovarich was adapted in 1935 by
Pulitzer Prize and Academy Award-winning writer Robert E. Sherwood,
author of numerous plays including Idiot's Delight and Abe Lincoln in
Illinois. Rarely-seen since the first half of the 20th century, this
delightful piece tells the improbable tale of an indomitable Russian
Grand Duchess and her dashing Prince of a husband living in exile in
Paris after the Russian Revolution.
