Revived four times on Broadway, The Village Players will present a play by Ruth and August Goetz, The Heiress, directed by Barbara Barkan. Set in the 1850s in Washington Square, the play navigates a young woman's search for love and a life of her own. Catherine's world changes when she meets Morris Townsend, a charming bachelor who thrills her but makes her wealthy and resentful father, Dr. Austin Sloper, suspicious. Believing Morris is only after Catherine's inheritance, Dr. Sloper threatens the young love and forbids their engagement. Will the doubtful duo elope? Is Morris a gold digger? Or perhaps, does Catherine have a motivation of her own?
The Heiress will run November 7-22, 2014. The Village Players. 2740 Upton Ave. Tickets, Adult $16, Seniors and Student $14. Group discounts available. 419-472-6817. thevillageplayers.org
