$12 General Admission Preview Thursday June 2
Runs two weeks only June 3-12

A melodramatic tale of romance, madness and betrayal.

The inclusion of Double Falsehood in Arden's Complete Works of Shakespeare last year has inspired us to mount a production.

Double Falsehood is a tragicomedy thought to be based on Cervantes' Don Quixote. Full of over-dramatic action, cliffhangers, romance, betrayal, friendship and revenge... this is an action-packed story you're sure to enjoy!

First shown at London's Theatre Royal in 1727...
Last shown somewhere in Covent Garden in 1793...
Now popping up in theatres around the globe...

Join us for more history-makin'!
Is Shakespeare the true author of Double Falsehood? It's quite the controversy! Lewis Theobald, a Shakespearean editor, is credited with resurrecting the script (or perhaps for finding Shakespeare's lost play Cardenio and rewritting it himself) and John Fletcher (whom as most likely worked with Shakespeare on The Two Noble Kinsmen) has been noted as a collaborator on the project. We invite you to do some research on the history of this play and why the editors at Arden have included it in their "Complete Works of Shakespeare." Then, come see the play and discuss your thoughts with us. Regardless of who wrote what, we guarantee you'll have a fun night out at the theatre seeing a play that not many people will ever get a chance to see!

Join the cast and crew members for a Question and Answer session on Sunday June 5 after the show!
