Kate Hamill’s “Vanity Fair,” based on Thackeray’s novel, is a “highly theatrical (im)morality play” about two women from very different backgrounds with very different dispositions who need each other to make their way in “a society that punishes them for every misstep.” Directed by Tom Whitaker, it’s “Bold, wickedly funny and shockingly relevant…” Go see it! November 13 – 18 at UCSB’s Performing Arts Theater. Tickets.
