About
In 1888, three experienced lady adventurers set out to explore Terra Incognita. Blending Tom Stoppard’s limber linguistics with the historic overview of Thornton Wilder, Eric Overmeyer’s witty and surreal play takes his audience on a mirthful safari that leads from darkest Africa to Terra Incognita, spinning into time travel.
