THE STORY: Mistaken identity, misplaced ardor, and a fight for true love ensue in this adaptation of Piron’s classic 1738 French farce. Would-be poet Damis has fallen in love with the works of a mysterious Breton poetess, not knowing that she is really Francalou, a middle-aged gentleman. Meanwhile, Damis’s non-literary friend Dorante has fallen in love with Francalou’s daughter, Lucille, who mistakes her new suitor for her favorite poet—Damis! Add to the chaos some scheming servants, pseudonyms, and disguises, and there is much to untangle before love-plots are resolved and a happy ending found in this French farce. With his sparkling wit and brilliant sense of comedic timing, David Ives brings a new shine to this lost classic.

In the aftermath of The Troubles, two brothers near the border to the North, harbour a guilty secret... “Look, there’s no rules of the road out there. Not any more. So how do ya live? Ya use the only thing ya can. Best compass a man has. Only compass a man has. His own heart.” Set in a rural hamlet in Ireland, the isolated lives of two brothers are disturbed by the arrival of a mysterious young woman. This is a story about secrets, atonement, and how, through the forces of love and nature, damaged lives are redeemed. Reviews “The Pond Theatre Company’s latest production, a world premiere of The Naturalists by Jaki McCarrick, promises naturalistic contemporary drama. It delivers on that promise with a well-crafted family drama defined by the 1979 Massacre at Narrow Water.” Adrienne Sowers, The Reviews Hub “Lovers of Irish theater and down-to-earth naturalism should like this one.” Diana Barth, The Epoch Times “Perhaps unsurprising given the title, the play is striking for its naturalism. Ms. McCarrick’s characters, especially as performed by this outstanding, all-Irish born leading trio, are painfully real and captivating to observe.” Robert Russo, Stage Left “The Naturalists introduces us to Jaki McCarrick, whom we will surely be hearing from again, such is her gift for singular, sharply drawn characters and dialogue with a touch of the lyric about it.” David Barbour, Lighting and Sound America “This is fresh and authentic theater. The direction is deft. The characters capture you quickly; you never doubt them. The script is a glimpse of a moment fraught with all the breakage engendered in the Troubles before, all the specific damage visited on these four people, and all the slim hopes of redemption.” Kathleen Campion, Front Row Center “McCarrick puts all the poetry of the play into Francis. He’s bursting with knowledge about the natural world and has the love of teaching others this as well.” Nicole Serratore, Exeunt NYC “The Naturalists is a compelling look at how one’s “secret” past can suddenly and unexpectedly encroach on the present and delay one’s progress into the future.” David Roberts, Theatre Reviews Limited Jaki McCarrick Jaki McCarrick is an award-winning writer of plays, poetry and fiction.

For the first time together in one volume comes "The David Ives Trilogy." David Ives's show-stopping series of rediscovered masterpieces of French comedy, all three commissioned by the Shakespeare Theatre Company, "The Heir Apparent,", "The Liar," and "The Metromaniacs" together span nearly a century of French comedy, from 1643 to 1738, all reinvigorated through Ives's inimitable rhymed-verse couplets, ingeniously witty wordplay, and diabolically cleaver dramaturgy.

Trop méconnu parmi les figures littéraires du XVIIIe siècle, Destouches n'en fût pas moins un acteur reconnu. Ce volume s’inscrit dans le renouvellement actuel de la lecture de Destouches. Il rassemble les articles des chercheurs et des artistes soucieux de le remettre en scène, de lui redonner sa juste place dans le paysage théâtral, aux côtés des Regnard, Dufresny, Gresset, et même Voltaire et Marivaux. Il a pour ambition de montrer la complexité de cette œuvre hybride et de mettre au jour les mécanismes de sa notoriété. Retour sur un homme-clé du paysage théâtral français du XVIIIe siècle dans un ouvrage interdisciplinaire. EXTRAIT Célèbre de son vivant aussi bien à la Comédie-Française que sur les autres scènes françaises et européennes, auteur de deux des plus grands succès du siècle, avec Le Philosophe marié (1729) et Le Glorieux (1732), Destouches bénéficie actuellement d’un certain regain d’intérêt pour le répertoire comique de la première modernité. Son théâtre se situe entre tradition et innovation, entre comique et sérieux, entre édification et plaisir. On y reconnaît diverses influences, notamment celle du théâtre anglais, mais également celle de Molière, dont il cherche à se démarquer tout en rendant hommage à son modèle indépassable. Ce répertoire essentiel de la première moitié du XVIIIe siècle appelle des perspectives variées qui articulent l’étude d’une dramaturgie à vocation morale, étayée par une poétique d’un nouveau genre préfigurant le drame, impliquée dans les grandes questions sociales, économiques, juridiques et politiques de son temps.
