Bedroom Farce
by Alan Ayckbourn
Feb 24-Mar 11, 2012

[Auditions] Trevor and Susannah, whose marriage is on the rocks, inflict their miseries on their nearest and dearest, three couples whose own relationships are tenuous at best. Taking place sequentially in the three beleaguered couples' bedrooms during one endless Saturday night of co-dependence and dysfunction, beds, tempers and domestic order are ruffled, leading all the players to a hilariously touching epiphany. A long-running hit in London and New York. [Auditions]

"As funny as anything he has written."
- London Times

"An enormously funny evening."
- London Observer

"Hilarious.... The stuff of gleeful recognition."
- London Evening Standard

World Premiere!
The Good Son
by Craig Smith
Mar 16–Apr 1, 2012

Presented by Tennessee Stage Company as part of the 2012 New Play Festival

What would you do if your mother, dead for thirty years, suddenly turned up very much alive at your Uncle's funeral? And if the police illegally broke into your home searching for her and threatening you with a gun? If you were a good son, would you protect your mother? And if so, at what cost?

Playwright Craig Smith is a native of Knoxville, TN.

Patron Testimonial

"We absolutely LOVED the show ... it was a delight, perfectly cast, costumed so well that additional sets were not needed, could have been an off Broadway production right here in K-ville. When I was in NYC in Dec., I saw 3 off Broadway shows which made me appreciate TKD even more ... including the venue! When I tell people that TKD is as good as NYC, I know what I am talking about!"
- L. Denton, Knoxville
