Arts Court Classic Theatre Festival-Affairs of State (July 7-30, 2023)

Affairs of State (July 7-30, 2023) is Louis Verneuil’s classic, rediscovered post-WW2 comedic gem, a funny  and intriguing story about the diplomatic deals and double crosses  behind closed doors in Washington featuring a memorable love quadrangle  that threatens the appointment of a new Under-Secretary of State. It’s a  chance to revisit an age when satirical comedies were sophisticated,  smart, sassy, insightful, and fun, with the wit and charm of the best  Katharine Hepburn/ Spencer Tracy films. It ran for over two years on  Broadway when first produced. It’s a lovely show that evokes the  post-war optimism that infuses so many of the era’s stories on stage and  screen. And most remarkable of all, Democrats speak civilly with  Republicans!*** EXCLUSIVE: Ch. 25 ARM Members and Guests receive a special 20% discount on all tickets (total with tax will be $35.36, using the discount code ARMOSSTF25).
