The Classic Theatre Festival presents Jan de Hartog’s The Fourposter , an enduring, comedic chronicle of a marriage set in an era of world-shaking technological and social changes. This Tony Award winner for Best Play is a beloved Broadway classic, following a couple through 35 years of marriage, from a nervous wedding night through to childbirth and parenting, mid-life crisis, empty-nesting and the realities of aging. In the words of Artistic Producer Laurel Smith, the play is “both a tender and at times incredibly funny exploration of an institution that most of us participate in and complain about a lot, but which ultimately represents the foundation for so many adult lives.”
