Casablanca: A Staged Radio Play
In the Dining Room
by Raconteur Radio
"...all the gin joints, in all the towns, in all the world, and she walks into mine."
--Rick Blaine
Perhaps the greatest movie of all time, Casablanca celebrates its 75th anniversary, while we celebrate Stage Left's 20th. Our friends at Raconteur Radio will stage an old time Radio Play in The Stage Left Dining Room on Friday, June 8.
This WWII classic takes place in war-torn Casablanca and tells the tale of mysterious nightclub owner, Rick Blaine, his old flame Ilsa Lund and Victor Lazlo, her husband and the daring leader of the Czech underground. Skeletons keep falling out of closets in this epic tale of spies, Nazis, unrequited love and...well...a fabulous cocktail bar.
Rick must decide in the end what counts more, personal happiness or the countless lives and liberties that hang in the balance of the last Great War. Of course, there's no reason not to drink Champagne and wear really swell outfits while you're deciding!
If you've never witnessed a live radio play, you should. If you have, then you know it's time to do it again. We'll gather for light hors d'oeuvres and Champagne Cocktails at 7. The "On-Air" light will come on at 7:30, and the play will commence. Dinner is immediately following.
