The Blue Comet
By Eden Phillpotts
Produced by Madison Shakespeare Company (Americas premiere)
Directed by Jason Compton
The Bedale family of Hampstead has three big problems:
- Their expenses exceed income…
- …a rogue comet is about to crash into the Earth…
- …and their Australian relation is coming to visit.
It all adds up to one terribly polite comedy about the end of the world.
For fans of Don’t Look Up, Night of the Comet, celestial apocalypse comedies, and anyone who would love reading a good book as the Earth is smashed to bits.
Performed November 1-9, 2024 on the Bartell Theatre Drury Stage, the first full production of The Blue Comet in the Americas, and the first presentation by MSC as a Resident Company of the Bartell.
