By: Odyssey Theatre Ensemble and Evidence Room “Marivaux explores the ambiguities of classic comedy — the nature of love and of attraction — in a very modern way,” says director Bart DeLorenzo. “Martin Crimp gives us a translation that feels fresh and alive, yet still retains the precision of Marivaux’s language.” “What I find interesting about Marivaux is his perpetual appetite for experiment,” Pierre Carlet de Chamblain de Marivaux (1688-1763), commonly referred to as “Marivaux,” Performances of The False Servant take place on Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m., July 11 through Sept. 6.
