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, ShaRon Hunter, Bethany James, Patrick Long, Ryan McCabe, Katherine McDonald, and Billy Weimer. Fight choreography is by Michael Hagins.

The Sword Politk runs from July 15th to July 30th at the Dorothy Streslin Theatre in the Abingdon Theatre Arts Complex at 312 West 36th Street (between 8th and 9th). The performance schedule is: Wednesday, July 15th at 6:30pm, Saturday July 18th at 11am, Sunday July 19th at 2pm, Monday, July 20th at 8pm, Saturday, July 25th at 6:15pm, and Thursday, July 30th at 8:30pm.

Tickets are $18 and can be purchased online at www.midtownfestival.org or by phone at 866-811-4111.
