By |2025-03-24T21:48:37-04:00March 24th, 2025|Theater|Comments Off on THEATER: THE TRIUMPH OF LOVE

THE TRIUMPH OF LOVE is an old story with eternal clout. This rapturous production now onstage at THE HUNTINGTON is a rollicking exploration of love and reason, gender and power, politics and class. Yes, it was written in 1732 by Pierre Carlet de Chamblain de Marivaux and has a marvelous cast but it's the rip-roaring [...]
