Another school holiday, another Play in a Day project. This time we managed to adapt Augustin Daly’s 1867 spectacular Under the Gaslight. This insanely popular Victorian melodrama created the enduring cliche of a damsel tied to railroad tracks as a speeding locomotive approaches.
Another large cast; in fact, even larger than you see here, since several three- and four-year-old kids showed up for most of the session.
We already know when the next Play in a Day will be: Thursday, Feb. 23 from 2-5 p.m. at Never Ending Books, 810 State St., New Haven. No registration required.
