Lecturer in Theatre David R. Gammons directs and designs the Boston Premiere of Kate Hamill’s wildly theatrical adaptation of William Makepeace Thackeray’s novel VANITY FAIR with Underground Railway Theater at Central Square Theatre in Cambridge. Thackeray’s witty and acerbic social satire of 19th Century English mores and cultural attitudes comes to rollicking life in this fast-paced and surprisingly contemporary “Im-morality Play.” What do you want, and what are you willing to do to get it? The quest for love, sex, money, status, and power takes Becky Sharp and a cast of zany characters for a roller coaster ride! Who will end up on top as Fortune’s Wheel spins dizzily?

January 23 - February 23, 2020  |  Central Square Theatre, Cambridge MA
