‘A Family Affair’ Play at Plummer Park

Classical Theatre Lab presents Alexander Ostrovsky’s ‘A Family Affair’ at Plummer Park Fiesta Hall.  This Russian comedy centers around a greedy merchant, Bolshov, who makes a fraudulent bankruptcy application in order to finance the lavish lifestyle of his bourgeois husband-hunting daughter. When Bolshov’s accomplices run off with his assets and his daughter, he descends into professional and psychological ruin and is jailed. Upon his release, Bolshov, a new man ready to walk the straight and narrow, finds that his selfish and cantankerous family has not changed one bit.  Play opens Saturday July 19 and runs through August 10.  Saturday plays are at 5 p.m. and Sunday plays are at 4 p.m. No performance on Sunday July 27.  Admission is free.
