Wonder of the World
by City Theatre Company
Aug. 19 (2021)
Wonder of the World by David Lindsay-Abaire is a madcap tale of one woman’s quest to find her true self. Nothing will prepare you for the dirty little secret Cass discovers in her husband’s sweater drawer. It is so shocking that our heroine has no choice but to flee to the honeymoon capital of the world in a frantic search for the life she thinks she missed out on. It’s a wild ride over Niagara Falls in a barrel of laughs, as Cass embarks on a journey of self-discovery that has her crossing paths with a blithely suicidal alcoholic, a lonely tour-boat captain, a pair of bickering private detectives, and a strange caper involving a gargantuan jar of peanut butter, all which pushes her perilously close to the water’s edge. Wonder of the World is an Austin premiere production and is the first collaboration between City Theatre and Beyond August Productions.
