‘Dames at Sea’ a delightful spoof of musicals
By CAROL BENET
cbenet@thearknewspaper.com

T
he 42nd Street Moon theater company, devoted to
producing musicals, is currently performing “Dames
at Sea.” The play originally debuted Off-Off-Broad-
way in 1966 before moving to Off-Broadway in 1968, where
it starred a then-newcomer, 18-year-old Bernadette Peters.
The play, which was originally written in the early 1930s,
then had a run in London, a television adaptation and several
revivals before premiering on Broadway in 2015.

Marin Theatre Co. takes another trip to Pemberley

L
ast year’s audiences who flocked to the Marin The-
atre Co.’s “Miss Bennett: Christmas at Pemberley”
are now coming back for the play’s other half, “The
Wickhams: Christmas at Pemberley.” Both were written by
the successful team of Lauren Gunderson and Margot Mel-
con as sequels to “Pride and Prejudice,” and both have been
presented as world premieres. They are a treat for Jane
Austen fans and for lovers of costume dramas, especially
during the holidays.

others float by pretending to swim on their
rolling chairs.
One of the swimmers is The Arab (Adam
El-Sharkawi) and the other is The Ameri-
can (Tre’Vonne Bell). These two represent
collectively all the soldiers of their respec-
tive countries. There is a bit of playwright

ations, the teeming violent hatred between
the characters on opposing sides and an
uncanniness in the atmosphere, be it in the
ocean or in Lebanon.
She tries to put the idea of war, so many
of them either caused or fought by America,
into perspective. She tells him of her trip to
Lebanon, where she felt at home. He, only
one-quarter Lebanese, has no loyalty to that
country and is willing to fight anyone who
opposes American ideals. He even yells
at her, “Why are you trying to get me to
doubt?” and, “I don’t care about Lebanon.”
As a soldier, doubts will only put him in
danger.
She tries to awaken any bit of sympathy

cause someone took the “Terrorist Hunting

In the next scene in the Middle East, the
nephew and The Arab fight hand to hand.
The American is also involved in the scene,
which is excellently choreographed by fight
specialist Carla Pantoja.
The end is a bit hokey, when the audi-
ence is asked to come up on stage and write

Garden Plot
Grab these gifts for the gardener on your list
By DIANE LYNCH
dlynch@thearknewspaper.com
———
T
hanksgiving came early this year, and now it’s
December and the holidays are upon us. That
begs the question: What to get the favorite gardener
on your list?
Keen gardeners often like unusual plants, cultivars that
aren’t found at just any nursery. Bayside Garden Center in
Tiburon has many novel plants. A while back, I got an in-
teresting variegated boxwood that has creamy white mixed
with just a little green on the leaves. Bayside has beautiful
off beat poinsettias with bracts in mottled coral tones. There
are uncommon succulents and bromeliads by the dozens,
which are easy to care for. A nice selection of air plants and
conch shells to display them in would be an undemanding
gift.
Green Jeans Garden Supply on the Redwood Highway
frontage road in Strawberry has many scarce and some-
times peculiar plants. It always has interesting garden
ornaments, such as the huge gargoyles that came in for
Halloween but would be great all year round for a gardener
who likes bizarre or whimsical ornamentation. Think Notre
Dame and the fact that gargoyles were thought to ward off
evil spirits — we could all use that, right? Technically, these
are grotesques or chimeras, as gargoyles were meant to
divert water away from the building, but who cares about
terminology when they’re so much fun. Another gift idea is
a serene Buddha to create a peaceful atmosphere in the gar-
den. Green Jeans also carries works by Patrick E, who did
the giant metalwork praying mantis on the nursery’s roof.
Chase Ace Hardware Garden & Gift Emporium on Fourth
Street in San Rafael has a large selection of gift items to
please many gardeners. A rainbow of bistro tables and
chairs are expensive but high quality. If you know a bee-
lover, check out the selection of bee-related merch. A wide
range of garden tools takes up a whole aisle, along with
amendments and the like. Oversized outdoor metal flowers
that come pre-rusted would look good on a fence or wall.
Sloat Garden Center in Mill Valley has a good selection of
Christmas cactus, just about ready to pop open, at the best
prices around, along with many colorful pots and the usual
plants and tools.
Annie’s Annuals and Perennials in Richmond is running
a sale with everything 15 percent off through the end of De-
cember. If you want unusual cultivars, this is a great place
to start. The store has a whimsical sense of humor about
plants, gifts and other garden ephemera.
