'Travesties' Closes This Weekend at Bay Street Theater
Travesties, the 1974 play by Tom Stoppard, ends its month-long run at Bay Street Theater in Sag Harbor this weekend.
Richard Kind stars as Henry Carr, a consular official in Zurich. Carr, an elderly, forgetful man, claims to have known author James Joyce, Dadaist poet Tristan Tzara and a young Vladimir Lenin in 1917. The absent-minded Carr reminisces about his interactions with the three men and how they intersected, all told through a funhouse mirror-style production of The Importance of Being Earnest.
