The Good Book of Pedantry and Wonder

By Moby Pomerance
Directed by John Langs
Previews July 22 - July 30
Opening July 31

Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays at 8pm, Sundays at 2pm

Boston Court Performing Arts Center, 70 North Mentor Avenue

The play is a deliciously witty exploration of the very special misery only the smartest family members can inflict upon one another. In 1880s England, James Murray pursues the Sisyphean task of creating the Oxford English Dictionary alongside his brilliantly caustic daughter, who is now responsible for Murray, his seemingly prodigal son, and a garden shed full of thousands of slips of paper bearing definitions. When does a lifework end and your own life begin?

The Good Book of Pedantry and Wonder features John Getz, Melanie Lora, Ryan Welsh, Travis Michael Holder, Gillian Doyle, Henry Todd Ostendorf and Time Winters.

Production staff for The Good Book of Pedantry and Wonder includes Brian Sidney Bembridge, scenic and lighting design, Bruno Louchouarn, sound and original music, Dianne K. Graebner, costume design, Chuck Olsen, prop design, Tracy Winters, dialect coach, Michael Donovan, casting director, and Katharine Haan, stage manager.

Preview tickets are priced at $17 and regular performances at $32. Senior, student and group discounts are also available. Tickets can be purchased online at bostoncourt.org or by calling (626) 683-6883.
