Burning Coal Theatre presents Travesties is a fast-paced, intellectual comedy by Tom Stoppard performing at the historic Murphey School auditorium in downtown Raleigh. The story spins a wild, fictionalized tale of historical figures like James Joyce and Vladimir Lenin crossing paths in 1917 Switzerland, told through the unreliable memory of a minor British consular official. This production is best suited for high school students and adults due to the complex literary references and rapid-fire dialogue. Tickets are highly affordable for teenagers, costing just five dollars for anyone eighteen and under, while adult tickets are thirty dollars on weekends and twenty dollars on Thursdays. If you are looking for a intellectually stimulating date night or an educational outing with your teenagers, this show offers a refreshing alternative to standard weekend plans. The intimate seating at Burning Coal means every seat has an excellent view of the performance.
This production is best suited for teenagers and adults. The humor relies heavily on historical, political, and literary references that younger children will find difficult to follow.
