Fort Worth theatre to stage a production of Edgar Rice Burroughs’ novel A Princess of Mars

As part of its 33rd season, the Hip Pocket Theatre in Fort Worth, Texas will stage a production of Edgar Rice Burroughs’ classic science fiction novel A Princess of Mars (1912/1917) in October 2009. Here’s a description of the upcoming production, taken from the theatre’s website:

Suddenly projected to Mars, John Carter finds himself captive of the savage green men of Thark. With him is Dejah Thoris, lovely princess of Helium. Between them and rescue, a thousand miles of deadly enemies and unknown dangers await.
