From Theatre@First’s website: A King and No King is a Jacobean [the same time period as Shakespeare] tragicomedy from 1619. The A plot involves a king who returns victorious from a long war and sees his grown up sister, and oh no! She’s super hot! And oh no! She is equally into him! But don’t worry, everything ends happily and legally. The B plot involves the conquered prince who is brought to marry the princess, but who is already promised to his true love. The C plot involves a cowardly Captain who has accidentally and unwillingly acquired a reputation for valor. Hijinks ensue.

Harlequin ~ Schooled in Love

May 3 at 2pm in The Neal Rantoul Vault Theater in Lynn
This semester, the North Shore Community College Players invite you to a shimmering and witty production of Pierre de Marivaux’s classic comedy, Harlequin Schooled in Love.
The fickle Fairy Queen is destined to wed her perfect match—the formidable sorcerer Merlin. But, then again, perfection can be so awfully boring. While wandering the woods, she stumbles upon Harlequin, a young man who is as handsome as he is... well, simple. Captivated by his raw potential (and undeniable good looks!), the Fairy shrugs off her impending nuptials and abducts him instead. Her plan? To "refine" this rustic fool into the sophisticated, witty husband of her dreams.
Despite the Fairy’s relentless tutelage (and lavish gifts), however, Harlequin remains frustratingly unawakened—until a chance encounter with Silvia, a charming shepherdess from the nearby village, ignites an unexpected spark. In a single heartbeat, Harlequin discovers something the Fairy’s magic could not teach him—the thrill of true love!
Suddenly, Harlequin’s wits awaken, his spirit is emboldened—along with a determination to escape the clutches of the powerful enchantress. But how can two simple sweethearts outsmart a woman who can bend reality to her will? Can true love survive the jealous fury of a spurned sorceress?
Our vibrant production of Harlequin Schooled in Love brings a fresh, modern energy to Marivaux’s 18th-century masterpiece, offering a hilarious and poignant exploration of the clash between artificial sophistication and authentic human instinct. Don't miss this sparkling, timeless comedy – a radiant reminder that the heart, not magic, is the wisest teacher of all.
