Department of Speech Communication &
Theatre presents the play "Fuddy Meers,"
a comic play by David Lindsay-Abaire,
Feb.
22 – 27 at the Rickenbach
Theatre, directed
by KU associate professor Roxane Rix. The main
character,
Claire,
is an amnesiac who wakes each morning as a blank slate which her husband and son
must fill with the details of her life. When a strange man wants to rescue
Claire from her murderous husband, the chase is on. The comic mayhem that follows is
seen through the kaleidoscope of Claire's world, and culminates in revelations
and reversals that prove none of us are what we appear to be. Curtain
is at 8 p.m., or 2 p.m. for the final performance. Seating is limited in this
intimate performance space, so get your tickets early. For more information,
please call x3-4092. Tickets are $15 and are available at the MSU Info Desk or
