Dark comedy hits stage this week Plot follows unhappy 21st-century wives Josh Naquin Staff Writer
A dark comedy that highlights the trials and tribulations of three 21st century wives is taking the stage this week in a production titled “The Smell of the Kill.” The production, which follows the wives as they struggle to break free of their husbands’ restrictions, is directed by Macy Jones and will run today through Nov. 6 in the Studio Theatre
located in the Music and Dramatic Arts Building. A primary theme of the show is “the problems of balancing what you want in life with what you have to settle for,” Jones said. Jones chose to direct this play because she thought its witty humor would intrigue student audiences. The wives find themselves trapped by the American dream and are unhappy with the superficiality of their lives, Jones said. The wives bond over their collective marital misfortune throughout the play and lament the realization of their lives as shallow and meaningless. The end of the show leaves
the women with a decision to make – continue on the path they are following or diverge from what they had previously accepted. The action-packed production runs just short of an hour and a half, and although it touches upon serious concepts, it will provide audiences with a night full of chuckles, Jones said. Performances of “The Smell of the Kill” will be held at 7:30 p.m. until Nov. 5, with a closing 2 p.m. matinee performance Nov. 6. Tickets are $10 at the door. AMY BROUSSARD / The Daily Reveille
