Rising playwright Evan Smith channels Oscar Wilde and Charles Dickens in a Victorian comedy of manners that is also disarmingly modern. Stubborn, thrifty spinster Amelia Pickles rents a room in her London lodgings to equally stubborn, thrifty bachelor Captain Josiah Wickett and sets off a chaotic chain of events. The idea of marriage and the rule of law collide in a witty period piece stuffed full of drawing room plot twists and rich comic turns. The Uneasy Chair has bewitched audiences in New York and Chicago as it turns conventional dating and mating rituals inside out.
