King of Hearts
KING OF HEARTS, an original stage adaptation inspired by the French film of the same name, running May 22 - June 6 at Salvage Vanguard Theatre, 2803 E. Manor Road, Austin, TX.  

Set during WWI, this whimsical anti-war allegory tells the story of a humble Scottish soldier, Charles Plumpick, who is sent into a supposedly evacuated French village. His mission: to locate and disarm explosives rigged by the Germans to destroy the Scottish battalion as they begin their occupation of the village. Once the lone soldier Plumpick arrives, he encounters strange inhabitants, even for the French. Unbeknownst to Plumpick, the escaped patients of a lunatic asylum have assumed the roles of the evacuated villagers. They crown him their King of Hearts, blissfully ignorant of the impending doom.

Ultimately, the play questions the sanity of those who wage war.

Performed as a mime ballet with Chaplinesque moments and commedia dell'arte influences, the production features scenic design by Ia Enstera, lighting design by Natalie George, costume design by Talena Martinez, Mark Stewart as Plumpick, and a large ensemble guided by artistic director David Yeakle.  

Opening performance is Friday, May 22, at 8pm. All Thursday, Friday, and Saturday shows are at 8pm; Sunday shows are at 6pm. Tickets to performances May 22 - May 31 are $15; closing weekend performances, June 4, 5, and 6 are $20. Group discounts are available for 10 or more.
