The Metromaniacs

Welcome to The Metromaniacs by David Ives-- a modern adaptation of a laugh-out-loud French comedy. Based in a (semi-accurate) 18th-century Paris, poets were the rock stars of the day, and young people like main character Damis have gone nutso for verse. Damis falls in love with his favorite poetess, all without knowing....well, you'll have to see the show to learn the surprise! 

This witty show then turns into a series of mistaken identities, plot twists, and costume changes that The Washington Post called "a marvel of old and new, with punchlines that glisten with classical flair and contemporary savvy."

To make it even more fun, this entire play is written in hilarious rhymes — but modern language. We hope you will join us for this glittering cast of seven talented, local actors with the St. Mark's Players in Capitol Hill, D.C. Get your tickets today!
