A.R.T. Hosts Free Reading Of Robert Brustein's MORTAL TERROR 12/6

By:

On Sunday: Free reading of Robert Brustein's new play Mortal Terror by Robert Brustein, directed by Daniela Varon, featuring Stafford Clark-Price, John Kuntz, Tommy Derrah, Jeremy Geidt, Michael Hammond, Merritt Janson, Ian Kerch, and Wesley Savick

Sunday, Dec. 6, 11AM | Loeb Drama Center | Free and open to the public
It is 1605, the year of the infamous Gunpowder Plot. Shakespeare is busy writing Macbeth to justify King James's right to the throne, and dallying with his Danish Queen to satisfy other kinds of desires. Overflowing with colorful Jacobean characters such as Ben Jonson, John Marston, Sir John Harington, and Guy Fawkes, this play takes a peek into the history of a troubled time and into the heart of a troubled genius.

Shakespeare Exploded! New Play Reading Series

As part of its commitment to supporting the development of new American plays, the A.R.T. will produce a reading series during the Shakespeare Exploded! festival featuring new plays inspired by Shakespeare's life and works. All readings and discussions are free and open to the public.
