"In 18th Century Paris, poets are the rock stars of the day, and young people like Damis have gone métromanie—crazy for poetry," states a description on the Old Globe's website. "Damis has a serious case of verse-mania, so much so that he falls in love with his favorite poetess, not knowing that his idol is actually a middle-aged gentleman writing under a pen name! Soon we’re off and running in a breathless series of complications, plot twists, and mistaken identities."
The creative team includes James Noone (scenic design), Murell Horton (costume design), Mark McCullough (lighting design), Matt Tierney (sound design), Adam Wernick (original music), Laura Stanczyk, CSA (casting director), Carter C. Wooddell (additional casting), and Jess Slocum (production stage manager).
Performances will take place at the Old Globe's Donald and Darlene Shiley Stage in San Diego. Tickets are on sale and can be purchased by visiting TheOldGlobe.org.
