About the show
Mebe Productions presents an uproariously inaccurate portrayal of a party during the smallpox epidemic in England during the early nineteenth century. This blend of scripted and improvised dramedy follows a group of young people in the Regency era who gather for a night of debaucherous fun. Their evening quickly spirals from gossip into full-blown chaos when a government-enforced quarantine traps them together. Historical satire with a light touch and a lot of mayhem.
Why see this show?
A joyfully irreverent take on Regency-era disaster — part improvised, part scripted, and entirely chaotic. Great fun for anyone who enjoys historical absurdity with a sharp satirical edge.
