Detour Theatre is closing out the year with a chaotic comedy. Its final production, Nana's Naughty Knickers, is a crazy and highly entertaining show that won't leave you disappointed, says director Kim Williamson.
"The wild ride begins the moment the curtain opens." The play is set around an 83-year-old nana's
illegal lingerie business operating out of her New York apartment and the chaos that ensues when her granddaughter moves in over the summer.
"It's the big heart of the play that sold it to me. You can't help but love nana and her 85-year-old side-kick Vera as they get themselves, and everyone they come in contact with, into more and more trouble.
"The harder they fight to get themselves out of the mess, the deeper everyone gets. But throughout, Vera and Sylvia remain adorable, generously spirited to a fault and steadfastly can-do. They're the seniors we'd all like to be when we're in our 80s," she says.
Detour tries to produce something for everyone throughout the year.
