‘There’s a Burglar in my Bed’
Extramarital affairs, an emerald necklace and a bumbling detective will all come together for the Feb. 25 debut of “There’s a Burglar In My Bed” in the University of Indianapolis Schwitzer Student Center Dining Hall.
The show by Michael Parker will run Feb. 25 – 27 and March 4 – 5 with a talented cast of seven UIndy students. This bedroom farce fuses timing and physical comedy to tell the story of a husband and wife caught in the middle of complicated love affairs.
The drama soon devolves into a burglary plot with “people running around in their underwear or various stages of undress…which is inherently funny,” said Associate Professor of Theatre and director of the show Brad Wright.
According to Wright, audiences can expect a tasteful show with some adult humor and enough physical comedy to keep everyone, including the actors, on their toes.
Senior theatre major Stephanie Kucsera feels that this show will be a very enjoyable show.
“It’s very light, not a serious show by any means,” Kucsera said.
Wright noted that with this show being a farce it would be good to change things around for this production.
“On the heels of something as sort of intellectually challenging as ‘Rosencrantz & Guildenstern,’ this is kind of refreshing. It’s also a breath of fresh air after ‘Shame’ in the fall, which was very serious…” Wright said.
