First published in 1727 by Lewis Theobald, new research indicates that DOUBLE FALSEHOOD, might have actually been written byWilliam Shakespeare and John Fletcher.
Letter of Marque Theater Company is presenting DOUBLE FALSEHOOD under the direction of ?Andrew Borthwick-Leslie. DOUBLE FALSEHOOD will play a five week limited engagement from Saturday, March 5th through Saturday, April 9th, 2016 at The Irondale Center (85 S. Oxford St. Brooklyn, NY 11217). Opening Night is Saturday, March 12th at 7:30 p.m.
A limited number of tickets will be given away free of charge to the general public (Regular Price: $20.00 General Admission, and $50.00 VIP).
Double Falsehood follows two brave female protagonists, Violante and Leonora, and two contrasting leading men, Julio of honorable and modest birth, and Henriquez an aristocratic villain. The story starts with Henriquez, heir to the Duke Angelo of Spain, as he exploits his social privilege to scheme his way around beautiful women, greedy fathers and honorable brotherhoods, resulting in a disturbing yet enlightening tale of self-repentance and discovery within family, honor, madness, lust and relationships.
Aside from crafting a story of love, trust, honor and violence using a rare, classic text, Letter of Marque Theater Company wishes to engage Brooklyn communities in a conversation to end rape culture, by conjoining live art and social change. To achieve this goal they will be implementing three expert "Full Frontal" panels with guests such as Council Member Laurie Cumbo and author/feminist Carol Gilligan (named one of Time Magazine's most influential Americans), weekly post-show talk backs, and the Lady Play's Unstaged Reading Series.
DOUBLE FALSEHOOD plays the following regular schedule through Sat, April 9th:
Tuesdays at 7:30 p.m.
Wednesdays at 7:30 p.m.
Thursdays at 7:30 p.m.
Fridays at 7:30 p.m.
