This month’s “Wink” brings insight to the inner workings of a wealthy family in Paris in the 1660s. Since their mother's death, Elise and Cleante are stuck under their father's watchful eye. With such a tight clasp on the family money that they don't even wear decent clothes, how will Cleante convince his father to let him marry a woman without a dowry? Will Elise get to marry the man of her dreams, or be stuck with the one her father thinks is best? Watch as they try to teach their father the meaning of love.


ABOUT THE "WINKS" SERIES:

Dec 11, 2012- June 4, 2013
The second Tuesday of every month! 

Wide Eyed Productions is embarking on a season of development as they explore new works, revisit the classics, and reimagine some of the best plays in the contemporary canon. This season predicates future seasons by workshopping and reading plays to excite and invigorate  theatergoers and the production company alike. Through a series of readings open to the public, Wide Eyed Productions aims to strike a chord within ourselves and the community.

This season of “Winks” is intended to develop work that will further define Wide Eyed as a company, as well as its place in the New York arts world. Every reading will give the audience a chance to have a voice on what Wide Eyed produces in its seventh season, as well as build support for the company and all of its talented members. We’ve picked our favorite contenders, and by attending and giving your feedback, you can help shape the next season at Wide Eyed.
