Loosely adapted from Susanna Centlivre’s 1714 farce of the same name, WONDER! A WOMAN KEEPS A SECRET follows a colorful cast including a pair of jealous lovers, an iceberg-phobic captain, a frustrated musical revue performer, a scheming mother-in-law, and an enterprising toilet maid as they try to make it to Lisbon with a boat-load of secrets. Set sail for a side-splitting, laugh-’til-you cry adventure!
