Curious Courtships

GUEST HOST: MAULIK PANCHOLY

Description

Guest host Maulik Pancholy presents three stories about curious courtship. First, does the perfect date night include zombies? You decide, as Tony Hale reads “First Person Shooter” by Charles Yu. A president’s wife is the perfect luggage item, until she develops a mind of her own in a vintage tale by Whitfield Cook. “The Portable Mrs. Tillson” is performed by Laura Grey and Jordan Klepper. The show concludes with another period gem--“Gertrude the Governess: or, Simple Seventeen” by Stephen Leacock, performed by Sonia Manzano. This pastiche of Victorian melodrama has everything—a handsome nobleman, a missing fortune, a penniless governess, a grand estate.
