Glessner House

Welcome to the home of the eccentric Latimer, who waylays couples who are running away together and gives them a taste of what their lives together might be like by forcing them into sustained exposure to each other’s habits and idiosyncrasies.
<a href="https://www.ghostlightensemble.com/the-dover-road" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">The Dover Road by A.A. Milne</a> is a not-so-subtle dissection of romantic love with hints at the homosocial instinct of English upper-class men. Ghostlight’s production brings to the forefront the play’s implied observations on sexuality and gender expression that has always existed in society if you knew where to look.
The rarely produced play premiered on Broadway in 1921 and in the West End in 1922. Today Milne is best known for his children’s books about the bear Winnie-the-Pooh. But before the massive success of the little bear from the Hundred Acre Wood overshadowed his previous work, Milne was primarily a playwright and humorist, who also dabbled as a novelist.
The play is directed by Holly Robison.
The Dover Road will take place at the coach house of the historic Glessner House — a National Historic Landmark that was completed in 1887.
The show runs from April 17 through May 3, with a preview performance on Thursday, April 16. Performances take place on Thursdays, Fridays &amp; Saturdays at 7:30 p.m. and Sundays at 2:30 p.m. There is no performance on Saturday, April 18. Please note: There is a designated understudy performance on Monday, April 27 at 7:30 p.m. 
<a href="https://www.eventbrite.com/e/the-dover-road-by-a-a-milne-tickets-1984241507764" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Tickets are pay-what-you-will</a>, with an average donation of $30. Limited parking is available
