Event Description - Opening Night for Divine Words
Opening Night for Divine Words

February 12, 2010 8 p.m.

Tomlinson Theater, 1301 W. Norris St.



A resourceful, seductive young woman becomes the reluctant guardian of a hideously deformed dwarf and confronts the frightening price of survival in this dark, savage comic nightmare of human avarice and greed. This is an intensely theatrical fable of life in a primitive, rural town ruled by the amoral superstitions, ignorance and animal appetites of its pagan roots, gripped only by a catholic fear of the Church and the divine words of a savior they can never hope understand. Little known in America, Valle-Inclan is one of the most boldly original and influential anti-naturalistic playwrights of the early twentieth century, inspiring the work of future luminaries such as Lorca, Genet and Brecht. Temple Theaters provocative new production promises to be a major theatrical event not to be missed!


The play will run until February 21 and preview performances will be held on February 9-10. Please visit the department of theater for the full schedule.

Tickets are $15-$20. They can purchased online through Brown Paper Tickets. Tickets can also be purchased in person at the Tomlinson Theater Box Office at 1301 W. Norris St. For group rates call 215-204-1334.
