Ready for a play that will make you laugh about the pandemic? ...The 1606 one, that is?

Enter: “Jane Anger,” opening at The Warehouse Theatre on Friday, Jan. 31, and running through Feb. 16. If Monty Python is more your speed than Masterpiece Theatre — or maybe you just think theatre can take itself a bit too seriously sometimes — this play is for you.

Directed by Anne Kelly Tromsness, it’s an uproarious comedy full of surprises (read: leave the kids at home for this one).
Date night, planned
