On the Verge, or the Geography of Yearning, by Eric Overmyer

"On the Verge, or the Geography of Yearning" by Eric Overmyer follows three Victorian explorers on their intrepid, hilarious, lyrical journey bushwhacking their way through the last unexplored lands on the globe: Terra Incognita. As they travel together with staunch courage, keen observation, and proper Victorian sensibilities, it becomes apparent that this is no ordinary journey. Their friendship is tested as these lady travellers encounter trolls, psychics, yetis and...Cool Whip? Ultimately they acquire new words, manners, fashions, and intuitions that take them beyond their wildest imaginings.

This production is lovingly dedicated to the memory of RMC theatre alumna, Sarah McFather.
