Red House at the Bus Barn, 7/20-7/22
Following its presentation at the Magic Theatre last December, a fresh draft of Red House is being presented at the Bus Barn Theatre's 2006 Summer Festival this July. Directed by John Aney, Red House will be presented as the third full length play of the festival lineup, from July 20 to July 22. For more details, see the Festival web page.

The play takes a postmodern view of the entangled lives of the iconic Preraphealite artists: Dante Gabriel Rossetti, William Morris, and Sir Edward Burne-Jones. Can the artists who embraced integrity in painting apply the same ruthless honesty to the tempestuous days of their youth? In the twilight of Sir Edward Burne-Jones' life, his long-suffering spouse Georgiana must decide if a lifetime of comfortable deception is worth more than an hour of honest happiness.
Program Notes: $12 ticket price, 8:00pm start time, at the Bus Barn Theatre in Los Altos, CA.
