If Oscar Wilde were alive today, well, he would be really, really old! But he would also be writing plays like Capsized Flotsam, a new comedy receiving its West Coast premiere at the Ark this summer. Local L.A. playwright Donaco Smyth meshes the wit of Wilde with the fantastic worlds of H.G. Wells, then throws in some of the outlandish zaniness of Monty Python for good measure. It's shaping up to be a very funny summer at the Ark!
Directed by company member Douglas Leal (A Doll's House, A Christmas Twist),.
