Born Yesterday - by Garson Kanin @ Venables Theatre

Just when politics has lost its sense of humour, in rides Billie Dawn on a breath of fresh air. Her smarts are buried under layers of satin and showgirl sass but are highly combustible.

When her powerful and shady boyfriend, Harry Brock, sets out to buy a senator, he decides Billie needs a bit more class and he hires journalist, Paul Verrall, to make her appear more intelligent. But a little education can go a long way, and Billie may be smarter than her “friends” give her credit for.

​In this pointed and hilarious story, personal and political oppression is exposed and outwitted in the intellectual rebirth of the iconic “dumb blonde”, who ultimately stands up to Brock’s corruption and violent intimidation.​

Although written and set in 1946, this remains a timely parody of politics and perceptions in today’s society. Suitable for ages 13 and older.
