PORTSMOUTH – NURSE! was inspired by actress/Brooklyn Theater fire survivor Kate Claxton’s historic lecture tour. Deprived of her sole source of income, Juliet’s Nurse must travel to any venue that will have her, to share her eyewitness account of events familiar from Shakespeare’s tragedy, and in so doing, correct the record regarding “the greatest love story ever told.”
Written and performed by Ayun Halliday and directed by Spencer Kayden, NURSE! is delivered in a bawdy mix of modern English and Fauxlizabethan. It is a mostly comic meditation on love, death, aging and teenagers.
Show times are Friday, Sept. 27, and Saturday, Sept. 28, at 7:30 p.m. - followed by an informal meet & greet with the Artist; Sunday, Sept. 29 at 2:30 p.m. - followed by a talk-back with the Artist.
Player’s Ring Theatre is at 105 Marcy Street, Portsmouth.
