OCHRE HOUSE PRESENTS

St. Ella

written and directed by Matthew Posey

Dallas, TX, August 23, 2022 - Ochre House Theater opens its 2022-23 season with a new and biting comedy, ST. ELLA, written and directed by Artistic Director Matthew Posey. ST. ELLA takes a satirical look at the iconic women found in 20 th century plays and explores their roles as oppressed women and the brutish men who ruled over them. This dark comedy is filled with song, dance, new vaudevillian techniques, and exposes the woman’s “world that is dying within her”. ST. ELLA promises an evening of provocative and exciting theatre. As Nina Mikhailovna Zarechnaya aptly states in THE SEAGULL, “By chance a man comes along, sees, and with nothing better to do, destroys…”
