Now- November 7 The Norman Conquests The Norman Conquests chronicles the tale of an off-the-wall librarian, and his equally quirky in-laws, over one very laugh-filled weekend. The Tony Award-winning revival is actually comprised of a trilogy from playwright Alan Ayckbourne, and the three tales are told from dif- ferent rooms of an English manor with each story giving insights into why the characters are of a peculiar nature. Audiences have the choice to see all three productions, or to merely view one, if they so prefer. For showtimes, type
