September 9-19, 2026 at Ron Maslin Playhouse as part of Season #58 2026-2027
| Written by Tom Stoppard |
| Based on play by Ferenc Molnar |
This light-hearted Stoppard takes place aboard a luxury liner at sea. Set in the 1930s, successful Hungarian playwrights Sandor Turai and Alex Gal set sail from Cherbourg to New York, to present their latest musical comedy, The Cruise of the Dodo. They are accompanied by their young French composer, Adam Adam—a former actor forced to end his stage career after contracting a strange speech impediment brought on by the return of his terrifying mother from prison.
Their plan to surprise their stars, the glamorous Eastern European actress Natasha Navratilova and the intellectually-challenged English actor Ivor Fish, with the newest song from the as yet unfinished play go awry when they overhear a declaration of love between Ivor and Natasha.
