Catch This: Withering Heights and Plenty of Wine

If wine and theatre have a natural hand-in-glove fit in your world, you’ll probably think this theatre troupe is genius.

Breeders Theater has made a stage at E.B. Foote Winery in Burien. Through August 1, you can go there to drink wine and to see them perform Withering Heights, an original play written by Seattle native T.M. Sell.

The play is a parody of Victorian-era romance novels, or, as is explained in the second act, “chick lit.” It manages to throw in some social satire about the financial crisis as well. The show is clever and immensely entertaining, even if you’re not a Jane Austen fan.

Admission is $20, which includes six different wine samples, which you will enjoy before, during and after the show, along with plenty of hors d’oeuvres.
