This is a serious black comedy-thriller – tough, fast, wickedly observant and sulphurously funny? One of the best new plays of the year. – Sunday Times (London)

Amphibian Productions kicks off its ’05 – ’06 maintage season with British playwright Tony Bicât’s A Buyer’s Market. This hilarious political play—dealing with loyalty, sexism, greed, and responsibility—comes to Fort Worth from July 7-17 at the TCU Hays Theater (2800 South University Drive).

Real estate agent Rosie Delaware is about to close her first big sale—a posh Thames-side penthouse. But this is no ordinary buyer: The imposing Russian who goes by the name of P.G. Wodehouse pays in cash, never takes no for an answer, has a distinctly cruel sense of humor…and it seems he’s done a little research on the flat’s owner, giving him power over more than just the real-estate transaction. This hilarious political play about loyalty, sexism, greed and human rights is a U.S. Premiere.

The cast includes Michael Muller, Drew Hayes, David H.M. Lambert, and Elizabeth Kopitke.

Amphibian Productions is a not-for-profit 501c3 organization that began when three theater alumni from Texas Christian University realized their vision for the ideal theater company. In order to promote true collaboration and networking, Amphibian created a link between artists and their communities and the established centers of live theater (New York City and Chicago) with the growing theatrical environment of Fort Worth, Texas. This valuable link continues to manifest itself through the production of plays, educational outreach and internships, readings and workshops of new plays, and an attitude that embodies a vast artistic integrity and expression.

A Buyer’s Market comes to Fort Worth from July 7-17; performances are Thursday through Saturday at 8pm and Sundays at 2pm. Tickets are $20.00 general admission and $10.00 for students and seniors. They can be purchased by calling 817-923-3012 or visiting Amphibian’s website at www.amphibianproductions.org. Half price tickets can also be purchased at the door for Sunday matinees.
