THE STORY: NINA IN THE MORNING is a style piece à la Edward Gorey. A tuxedoed narrator presents Nina, a preposterously narcissistic wealthy woman, attended by her butler, a silent maid, and her 3 children. The interwoven time-frame juxtaposes scenes from Nina’s past misbehaviors with the present morning when she can’t seem to get the butler to bring her a cruller.
“If you need a break from serious drama, the place to go is Christopher Durang’s silly, funny, over-the-top sketches, DURANG DURANG.” —TheaterWeek.
“With the help of Mr. Durang, the fine art of parody has returned to theater in a production you can sink teeth and mind into, while also laughing like an idiot. Parody of this comic verve is as much fun as the sort of marvelous party Noel Coward once sang about. I couldn’t have enjoyed it more.” —The New York Times.
