Tom Jones

Silver Spring Black Box Theater
8641 Colesville Road Silver Spring

When the good Squire Allworthy retires to his room after an arduous jorney from London, he is amazed to find a new-born baby in his bed... So begins Henry Fielding's great comic masterpiece, THE HISTORY OF TOM JONES, A FOUNDLING. Our hero's racy adventures with a host of larger than life characters - such as the volcanic Squire Western, the eccentric tutors Thwackum and Square, the predatory Lady Bellaston, and the novel's plucky heroine Sophia - are her brought to life in an energetic new adaptation by John O'Connor.

Presented by Lumina Studio Theater Group

"... Ambition is in no short supply at Lumina Studio Theatre. Tackling an epic is not only not beyond their sights, but rather standard with this adventurous little theatre in Silver Spring/Takoma Park. In their original adaptation of Henry Fielding’s 18th Century classic novel, Tom Jones, they have taken a massive satirical work of well over 300,000 words, chronicling the life and times of its titular hero from youth to marriage, journeying through every facet of English society, and turned out a play with seventy roles shared among some thirty-five performers."

There are companies which do epics, and then there is Lumina Studio. Having put together a sixty-character amalgamation of Henry VI Part 1, 2 and 3, in which no actor was above the age of 19, Lumina now tops itself by producing a seventy-character musical version of Tom Jones, with songs imported from John Gay’s The Beggar’s Opera.
