SUMMARY:"The Illusion" Sweet Tea Shakespeare

The play\, in true Shakepearean fashion\, is Pulitzer Prize winner Tony Kushner’s free adaptation of 17th century French playwright Pierre Corneille’s L’Illusion Comique. The Illusion follows fretful father Pridamant\, who\, in frantic foraging for his forsaken son Clindor\, finds himself a foil to Alcandre the Magician. Alcandre vows to ferret Clindor out\, via invoking a vision of him from which Pridaman may discover his whereabouts. Using theatrical features such as stock characters from commedia dell’arte\, the story unfolds\, showing us that though much of what we see in life may turn out\, in fact\, to be an illusion\, the journey we go on when seeing it is real. \nGillis Hall Farm | 2701 Gillis Hill Rd. Fayetteville\, North Carolina 28306\nPerformances will be outdoors at the charming and beautiful Gillis Hill Farm in west Fayetteville. Bench seating and picnic tables are both available.  We recommend you bring your own bug spray / sunscreen\, light coat or blanket\, etc that you believe necessary for an outdoor spring performance.

Picnic tables are also available at the top of the hill\, directly off the gravel parking lot. Restrooms are available onsite 100 yards from the amphitheater; however\, wheelchair accessible restrooms may not be available. \nFrom south Raeford Rd. turn onto Gillis Hill Rd.
