Planet Ant's GOOD MEN AND TRUE Begins 3/6

What happens when characters from Shakespeare's Merchant Of Venice, As You Like It and Twelfth Night come together during a violent tempest at sea? The answer will be found in the original Shakespearean play Good Men And True by Marty Shea and Ian Bonner making its debut at Planet Ant Friday March 6. Tickets ($10-$20) are on sale now at www.planetant.com. A complete performance schedule follows this release.

A violent tempest rages while occupants of a storm-weary boat debate their forthcoming fate. When a member of the crew suggests that a woman hiding aboard has angered King Neptune, causing him to create such a storm, the passengers begin to question each other, themselves, and the roles they play in society. Taking characters from Shakespeare's The Merchant Of Venice, As You Like It, and Twelfth Night, Good Men And True is an original Shakespearean play by Detroit playwrights Marty Shea and Ian Bonner. Under the direction of Sara Catheryn Wolf (St. Clair Shores), this production features Jaclynn Cherry (Rochester Hills), DeAnnah Kleitz-Singleton (Hamtramck), Kez Settle (Detroit), and Jackie Strez (Dearborn) with stage management by Nicholas Pobutsky (Detroit). Good Men And True premieres at Planet Ant Friday March 6 and continues through March 28 with performances Friday and Saturday evenings at 8:00pm and 2:00pm Sunday matinees on March 15 and 22.
