Ruppert's 'Savage Lands' performed by Red Masquers

Feb. 20, 2020

Timothy Ruppert, a Slippery Rock University instructor of English, wrote a play, "Savage Lands: A Colonial Comedy," that is being performed by the Duquesne University Red Masquers, an amateur theater company in Pittsburgh.

"Savage Lands" is about two colonial-era sisters, Penelope and Virginia, struggling to survive without the presence of Penelope's husband, while also needing to make tough decisions after inheriting a fortune.

The play, directed by John Lane, will be performed daily through Feb. 29 at Duquesne University's Genesius Theater.
