The Dover Road by A.A. Milne | The Upstart Crow Theatre Company

  • Dairy Arts Center 2590 Walnut Street Boulder, CO, 80302 United States (map)

Boulder’s Upstart Crow Theatre Company begins its 44th season with The Dover Road by A.A. Milne, a comedy about marriage and divorce. Leonard and Anne are running away together. They’re taking the Dover Road to cross the channel into France; once Leonard divorces his wife, he and Anne will marry. But their car breaks down and they seek assistance at a house that the butler who answers the door assures them is “a sort of hotel.” It’s really the home of wealthy and eccentric Mr. Latimer, who informs them he’s lured them there on purpose, and they’ll have to stay a week to see whether they’re compatible enough to make a successful marriage. Leonard and Anne don’t know what to make of their situation - and an even bigger surprise awaits them. Come enjoy the charm of Mr. Latimer’s “old-world courtesy and hospitality” and follow the comic adventures of his guests as the course of true love definitely takes a detour.
