The Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey's Next Stage Ensemble presents "The Marriage of Figaro"

Enjoy this live, one-hour adaptation of the play as performed by the Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey's Next Stage Ensemble. "The Marriage of Figaro" is a joyful romp about courtship, marriage and married life. Figaro and Suzanne’s efforts to wed demand all of their wit, creativity, and passion as they attempt to thwart a not-so-noble Count’s attempts to seduce the would-be-bride and fend off a lawsuit that would force Figaro to marry the housekeeper. They weave a plot that not only allows them to get married, but helps the Count and Countess rediscover their own true love. Aided by the incorrigible young Cherubin, the drunk gardener Antonio, and the pompous Doctor Bartholo, Figaro’s journey to the altar is a hilarious and madcap one. Admission is free and all are welcome. Sponsored by the Friends of the Cranford Public Library and partially underwritten by the Trinity Episcopal Church.
