‘Morning’s at Seven’ to Open SCR’s 30th Season in September
“Morning’s at Seven,” which made its debut on Broadway in 1939, has been announced as the opening production of South Coast Repertory’s 30th anniversary season in September. Paul Osborne’s droll but elegiac comedy about the lives of a small-town family in 1920s America will premiere Sept. 10 on the SCR Mainstage.
Theater officials also have named three other plays for the Mainstage, but without opening dates:
* Brian Friel’s “Dancing at Lughnasa,” the 1992 Tony Award-winning drama that tells in lyric terms about five unmarried Irish sisters who are shocked, then thrilled by a story about pagan rites and who find release through religion and ritual.
* Alan Ayckbourn’s “Man of the Moment,” a dark 1988 comedy revolving around an armed robber who has become an entertainer and who is reunited on television with a victim of many years earlier.
* Peter Shaffer’s “Lettice & Lovage,” a 1987 comedy about a pair of women with uncommon fantasies who re-enact scenes from English history.
SCR officials said dates and titles of other plays to fill out the 1993-94 season on both the Mainstage and Second Stage will be forthcoming.
