Explore a modern spin on this fan favorite, set in 1969 at the crux of the sexual revolution and rising homefront tensions in response to the Vietnam War. DVOC's new production sheds light on the themes of class relationships, sexualization of the working class, and gender expression, as an expansion on the revolutionary themes set forth in playwright Pierre Beaumarchais' original source material. Mozart's familiar tapestry of melodies - sometimes charming, sometimes heart-wrenching - become new, offering a fresh glimpse into the hearts and minds of this classic cast of characters.
