Drayton Entertainment presents Heiress at St. Jacobs Country Playhouse ST. JACOBS – This fall Drayton Entertainment delves into the dramatic world of a well-heeled New York family and the clashing themes of romance, duty and betrayal in the Tony Award-winning play, The Heiress. It takes up residence at the Playhouse for a three-week engagement, Oct. 7 through 25. “The Heiress is a vivid and absorbing piece of theatre that has garnered critical acclaim
since it first appeared on Broadway in 1947,� said artistic director of Drayton Entertainment Alex Mustakas. “As a film, it also received multiple Academy awards, Golden Globes, and a nomination from the Writers Guild of America for best written American drama. I expect that audiences will truly enjoy this evocative play.� Based on Henry James’ novel Washington Square, The
Heiress takes place in an affluent New York residential square in 1850. The story shines a powerful spotlight on family relationships as it recounts the conflict between a dull but sweet daughter and her brilliant, domineering father. Catherine is a soft-hearted and painfully shy woman, and the daughter of Dr. Sloper, a tyrannical man who makes no secret of his disappointment in her. When Catherine meets a
charming yet penniless suitor her misfortune appears to change. But believing him to be after Catherine's money alone, her father strongly disapproves of the relationship and when he learns of their plan to elope, Catherine is forced to choose between the desires of the heart and the security of the family fortune. Bitterly relentless and deeply compelling, The Heiress is a true character study that ex-

porting characters in the tale. “The underlying struggle between love and obligation resonates with everyone and you can’t help being drawn in by the dynamic characters on stage,� said Mustakas. “When the word gets out about this incredible play, theatergoers will not want to miss it.� The Heiress media sponsors are 101.7FM The One and The Wellington Advertiser.
