Spark Theater Presents Local Playwright Gwylum Cano's Comedy "The Eclipse of Lawry"

Spark Theater is proud to present local playwrite Gwylym Cano's "The Eclipse of Lawry" January 10 through February 8. Performances are Thursday, Friday and Saturday's @ 7:30 p.m. *No show on February 7. Tickets are $15 - 20 and are available online at www.sparktheater.org.

Part myth-making, part absurdist exercise, part political allegory and part youthful hell-raising, this story of three cowboys, whose plot to steal the moon, is a wild and woolly one. A bad of Brecht, a pinch of Freud, a handful of surrealism and a cup of Marx Brothers craziness makes this a rich ethnic broth that's politically piquant

Says a rep for Spark Theater, "Gwylym is a talented artist with a unique voice. Spark chose this script because we are committed to the recognition of Denver playwrights and bringing local voices to the Spark stage. This play is fresh and enjoyable. The mix of slapstick and philosophical thought is sure to elicit a reaction. The characters of Humphrey, Gezebell, and Dogwould are wonderful guides through this crazy magical story and we know our audience will fall in love with them."
