The Collective Objective is proud to present the world premiere of Jon Crefeld's The Sword Politik as part of the 10th annual Midtown InterNational Theatre Festival, directed by Jon Ciccarelli (Artistic Director of the Hudson Shakespeare Company).
The Sword Politik tells the story of a fateful power struggle in 10th century Germania. Not only are the Savages invading, but the Baron is dead and his daughter is the only heiress. But women cannot bear arms, and she must be married to a man who can protect the Barony. Whoever that man is will control her and the balance of power in Germania, so an adventurous quest for power develops as every man fights for the Baroness' hand and for control of the Sword Politik.
The cast will feature Paul Bellantoni, Jon Crefeld, Kerry Fitzgibbons, Sha
Ron Hunter, Bethany James,
Patrick Long,
Ryan McCabe,
Katherine McDonald, and Billy Weimer. Fight choreography is by Michael Hagins.
