  The IceHouse Tonight presents

 "A Shropshire Lad"

by A. E. Housman

Adapted and directed by Ara Barlieb

Feb. 20 - 22, March 1

Charles Brown Icehouse

56 River Street

Bethlehem PA

Crowded Kitchen Players has revised 'A Shropshire Lad', one of their most critically successful shows.      Kathy Lauer wrote in her Morning Call review of the 2014 production that, "The cast fills the stage with energy as the assortment of farmers, barmaids, soldiers, widows, lovers, murderers, constables, drunks and ghosts attempt to draw a young poet into the festivities."      Lehigh Valley Stage's Ellen Blickman called it, "An exquisite production from start to finish," adding, "This play is not just for lovers of theater and of poetry but for all who have become a little cynical with life. It restores our hope, and reminds us, that life is meant to be lived."        Almost all the dialogue is lifted directly from Housman's original 63 poems and crafted into conversations and monologues that tell stories, portrays lives, and depict triumphs and tragedies that portray dashed dreams and lost loves.
