Stagers, an undergraduate drama group, will present Murray Schisgal’s comedy “Luv” Wednesday and Thursday, December 11 and 12, at 8:15 p.m. in lower Strong Auditorium.
“Luv”, which spoofs, among other things, love, marriage, despair, suicide, self-pity, and homosexuality, first opened in New York in 1964. The production, directed by Mike Nichols, starred Alan Arkin, Eli Wallach, and Anne Jackson. Schisgal has also written Jimmy Shin which is presently playing on Broadway and starring Dustin Hoffman.
Author Schisgal had commented that “the emotion of love had been perverted and misused...Love has become a commodity rather than an emotion; that is, by revenue in personal relationships that we say what we mean.”
