Scandal, Murder and Roaring 20s Return to Greystone Hall in West Chester

Scandal, Murder and Roaring 20s Return to Greystone Hall in West Chester

Greystone Hall and the Colonial Playhouse of Delaware County present the 2021 production of The Manor, a two-act play by Kathrine Bates, directed by Sam Barrett. Inspired by a true story from the 1920'’s, the play was designed to be performed in the Greystone Mansion in Beverly Hills where those events took place. The play was later adapted by the playwright for Greystone Hall right here in Chester County, where the mansion itself is again the stage and the star! The story itself centers around money, marriage, politics and power. The audience follows the unfolding story as it moves through the grand stately rooms and intimate spaces of the famous 114 year old mansion. The play returns by popular demand for its fourth time at Greystone Hall, after a break last year during the height of the pandemic. Opening night will be Thursday, November 11th, with playwright Kathrine Bates set to be in attendance. The play will run though Thanksgiving Weekend for holiday audiences, with a total of ten performances ending on November 28th. Tickets are on sale now for $60 each, which includes the show and experience, plus complimentary sweet and savory refreshments at intermission.
