The Atlanta Shakespeare Company at The Shakespeare Tavern Playhouse Presents EQUIVOCATION
By: Louisa Brady Apr. 09, 2016
Shagspeare (after a contemporary spelling of the Bard's name) is commissioned by Robert Cecil, the prime minister, to write the "true historie" of the plot. And it must have witches! The King wants witches! But as Shag and the acting company of the Globe, under the direction of the great Richard Burbage, investigate the plot, they discover that the King's version of the story might, in fact, be a cover-up. Shag and his actors are confronted with the ultimate moral and artistic dilemma. Speak truth to power-and perhaps lose their heads? Or take the money and lie? Is there a third option-equivocation? A high-stakes political thriller with contemporary resonances, Equivocation gallops from the great Globe to the Tower of London to the halls of Parliament to the heart of Judith, Shag's younger daughter, who finds herself unexpectedly at the very heart of the political, dramatic and-ultimately-human mystery.
Join the cast and crew members for a lively Question and Answer session on Sunday May 1 after the show!
EQUIVOCATION is presented by special arrangement with Dramatists Play Service, Inc., New York.
