Catch-22

A "Major Major" event, this is the first professional production of Catch-22 to tour the United States. This timely, dynamic and darkly humorous production of Joseph Heller's stage adaptation of his classic novel explores the absurdity of war and its impact on American society. Catch- 22 finds a World War II bombardier trapped in a world of bureaucratic absurdity and madness. A maze of inter-related "Catch-22s" develop as the play unfolds towards its dark climax. With precision, sensitivity and unity of ensemble, The Aquila Theatre Company articulates the human essence inherent in classical drama. Combining the techniques of British and American theatre and following a philosophy of theatrical utilitarianism, Aquila believes that the greatest works should be seen by the greatest number.” Aquila is a company of British and American artists dedicated to classical drama. Founded in London in 1991 by Peter Meineck, Aquila is now based in New York City.

The classics made relevant with superb acting and clever staging. –“The New Yorker”

"hugely enjoyable and very funny." –The Times (U.K.)

Recommended for grades 9 - 12.
