Some of the pictures are very hard to get a good scan of. If you have any photos, please contact the webmaster through the Contact link. What we have tried to do is capture the feel of the play - not necessarily the ability to identify individual actors.
Luxury Cruise
Each of the three acts tells the story of a different couple on a world cruise: two antiquated ladies on their first trip, a married couple who know the husband is about to die, and a flashy bride who won the trip and is determined to bring culture to her husband (who is only interested in testing his poker ability with his fellow passengers). One is comedy, one more serious and the third farce. Episodes are interwoven throughout.
