Company of Fools’ production of Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike marks the Company’s first foray into the outrageously hysterical and often absurd world of playwright Christopher Durang. Guest director Gary C. Hopper returns after directing the Company’s wildly successful God of Carnage in 2012. In choosing this comedy, Company of Fools heralds its 20th Season with a play that opens up our senses—with laughter.

Synopsis:

Vanya and his adopted sister Sonia live a quiet life in the Pennsylvania farmhouse where they grew up, but their peace is disturbed when their movie star sister Masha returns unannounced with her twenty-something boy toy, Spike.

Deliriously funny! Comic acting raised to the level of high art… the theater erupts in booming gusts of laughter that practically shake the seats!  –The New York Times
