Description

On the Verge
In Eric Overmyer's chimerical comedy, On the Verge, three Victorian lady explorers set out on an adventure that takes them to darkest Africa, highest Himalaya and Terra Incognita. Blending Tom Stoppard's limber linguistics with the historic overview of a Thornton Wilder, Mr. Overmyer takes his audience on a mirthful safari... spinning into time travel. Heroines to their heart, the explorers can accommodate themselves to any emergency (natural or man-made), although they are momentarily disoriented as they approach modern times. A frolicsome jaunt through a continuum of space, time, history, geography, feminism, and fashion, On the Verge is a thoroughly serendipitous journey. (Shamblin Theatre)
