Theatre professor Bruce Cromer adapted Charles Dickens’ classic novel and is directing the world premiere production himself.<\/p><\/div>\n

Fifteen actors will play more than 30 characters in Wright State\u2019s world premiere production of Barnaby Rudge: Part 2, 1780<\/em>. The theatre department presented the first half of this Charles Dickens\u2019 adaptation last spring.<\/p>\n

The play will be performed for one weekend only on June 1 and 2 at 8 p.m. and June 2 and 3 at 2 p.m. in the Herbst Theatre.<\/p>\n

Set in and around 18th century London, Barnaby Rudge <\/em>tells the story of a simple-minded young man and his mother who are endangered by a mysterious stranger. An unsolved murder from the past pulls four young lovers from four families into a plot of deception, danger and desire.<\/p>\n

Bruce Cromer adapted the novel for the stage and is directing the production himself.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is the magic combination of Dickens and theatre that we\u2019ve attempted to offer in this new Barnaby Rudge<\/em>\u2014and that we\u2019ve been happily playing with for the past months,\u201d said Cromer.<\/p>\n

Cromer, a professor of acting and movement, is the department\u2019s area coordinator of acting. He is also a resident artist with the Human Race Theatre Company, a fight choreography expert and a certified teacher with the Society of American Fight Directors.<\/p>\n

The Herbst is a small, black-box theatre located in Wright State\u2019s Creative Arts Center. The venue offers audiences an intimate theatrical experience without the distractions of large crowds or elaborate stage d\u00e9cor.<\/p>\n

Tickets are $7 for students and $10 for adults. They go on sale 90 minutes prior to each performance at the Theatre Box Office. Seating in the Herbst is limited, so patrons are encouraged to arrive early.<\/p>\n
