 -30\nEvent Date End: 2009-11-29\n\nSet during the tumult of the French Rev
 olution\, A Tale of Two Cities vividly dramatizes the influence of histori
 cal and political upheaval on the individual.  It follows the intertwined 
 fortunes of a French aristocrat who rejects his family's tradition of terr
 orizing the lower classes\; a physician whose long imprisonment has left h
 im a symbolic hero for the oppressed\; the physician's daughter who unknow
 ingly marries a descendant of her father's tormentors\; a drunken lawyer w
 ho finds meaning in life through an unrequited love\; and a mob leader who
 se sheer rage at the degradation of the lower classes demands vengeance an
 d is woven into her knitting.  This new adaptation of the Dickens classic 
 poses questions as pressing today as they were two centuries ago.  How doe
 s one prioritize loyalty?  Is violence ever justified?  What are the costs
  to society of a citizenry divided between rich and poor?  Can a single ac
 t of honor and love counteract a world filled with hatred?  And\, in the f
 ace of war and terror perpetrated in the name of a broader cause\, what is
  the definition of a life well lived?\nFree events during the show run inc
 lude:\nFriday nights at 6:30: Teen Take Overs! offer pre-show Theatre for 
 Social Justice Workshops designed by WFT teaching artists that use improv 
 and drama games.\nSaturday matinees after the performance: Great Debates o

 d? What are the costs to society of a citizenry divided between rich and p
 oor?\nSunday matinees: Red Carpet Sundays: meet the cast after the perform
 ance!\n \n\nStart time: Friday evenings at 7:30\, Saturday & Sunday matine
