Firebelly Productions 2008
- 2009 Season
Mr.
Marmalade
by Noah Haidle
Directed by Stephen Jarrett
Oct 22-26, 29-31, Nov 1-2, 5-9 &
12-16, 2008
Black Comedy
Lucy is a four-year-old girl
with a very active imagination.
Unfortunately, her imaginary
friend Mr. Marmalade doesn’t
have much time for her. Not to
mention he beats up his personal
assistant and has a cocaine
addiction, and a penchant for
pornography. Larry, her only
real friend, is the youngest
suicide attempt in the history
of New Jersey. MR. MARMALADE is
a savage black comedy about what
it takes to grow up in these
difficult times.
Crimes
of the Heart
by Beth Henley
Directed by Patricia Foreman
March 25 – 29, April 1-5, 8-11,
15 -19, 2009
Black Comedy, 1981 Pulitzer
Prize
Warm-hearted, irreverent, zany
and brilliantly imaginative, the
play teems with humanity and
humor as it examines the plight
of three young Mississippi
sisters betrayed by their
passions. "While this play
overflows with infectious high
spirits, it is also,
unmistakably, the tale of a very
troubled family. Such is Miss
Henley's prodigious talent that
she can serve us pain as though
it were a piece of cake."
Summer

July 15 – 19, 22-26, 29-31, Aug.
1-2, 5-9, 2009
The
Little Foxes
by Lillian Hellman
Directed by Kathi Gollwitzer
Oct 22 - Nov 12, 2009
Drama
Lillian Hellman's cynical play
of family greed and revenge, The
Little Foxes, is her most
popular piece of drama, and it
is the one most frequently
revived. Picture a charming home
in the South. Into this peaceful
scene put the prosperous,
despotic Hubbard family--Ben,
possessive and scheming; Oscar,
cruel and arrogant; Ben's dupe,
Leo, weak and unprincipled;
Regina wickedly clever--each
trying to outwit the other. In
contrast, meet lonely
intimidated Birdie, whom Oscar
wed for her father's cotton
fields; wistful Alexandra,
Regina's daughter; and Horace,
ailing husband of Regina,
between whom a breach has
existed for years.
