Mr. Puntila and His Man Matti
by Bertolt Brecht
directed by Tony Macaluso

In conjunction with Brecht's 100th birthday the Station Theater is presenting the German playwright's political comedy about a monsterous Finnish landowner with a split-personality.

The play centers on the havoc created by Puntila, a stumbling force of nature who seeks to spread his wealth, his affection and his body whenever he is drunk, and grows horrified at his own generousity when sober. Inspired in part by a segment from Chaplin's film City Lights, Puntila demonstrates the great difficulty of grasping social reality.

All shows at 8 p.m.
