“King & I” to open 60th season at Lake Worth Playhouse
LAKE WORTH — The Lake Worth Playhouse opens its 60th Anniversary season Oct. 5 with the classic story, “The King and I.”
In this romantic musical, the boy-meets-girl plot is woven into the historical context of the British Imperialism inAsia. It is the story of a clash between cultures and the dynamics betweenGreat Britainand The Orient.
The King of Siam invites an English governess to teach the children of his many wives about the modern world. Yet he himself resists changing his traditional role as the benevolent patriarchal dictator until the bold young governess wins his heart and his respect. Yul Brynner is perhaps best known for playing the role of the King of Siam.
The play runs Oct. 5-21, with performances at 2 and 8 p.m. Tickets can be purchased through the Lake Worth Playhouse Box Office at 561-586-6410 or online at lakeworthplayhouse.org. Lake Worth Playhouse is located at 713 Lake Ave, Lake Worth.
