The Dispute: A Spectacle for Lovers and Fighters
It’s 1744 and an exasperated playwright with a wicked case of writer’s block accidentally launches the world’s first reality entertainment. Four self-absorbed teenagers, raised in total isolation, are turned loose on each other to figure out who committed the first infidelity – men or women. Baroque Farce, Euro-Dance, and The Dandy Warhols collide in this new adaptation of Marivaux’s classic comedy where Courtship Etiquette turns into Mortal Combat and the only true love is the one in the mirror.
“The Dispute: A Spectacle for Lovers and Fighters” is translated and adapted from Marivaux’s 1744 classic by YoungLiars Co-Producing Directors Maggie Conroy and Chuck Harper and is directed by Chuck Harper.
