Join us for a two-day festival celebrating the winners of our second Muse of Fire Playwriting contest!
Playwrights of the global majority from all around the world submitted full-length plays that reimagine Shakespeare’s themes and plots with this year’s festival theme: “Let Me Be That I Am, And Seek Not to Alter Me” The top three winning plays will be brought to life through staged readings, performed by Atlanta Creatives, at the Tavern. The 2023 second place winning play, The Venetians, will be on the Main Stage August 23-September 7. Together we will look at what it really means to be human and how we interpret that definition for our own purposes. The three winning scripts are: 1st place winner El Mercante by Maya Torres (Reading Saturday August 30 @ 7:30pm on the Main Stage) 2nd place winner Hurt People by LaDarrion Williams (Reading Saturday August 30 @ 2:30pm on the Main Stage) 3rd place winner Painting in Public by Novid Parsi (Reading Friday August 29 @ 7:30pm in The Porpentine)
Food and drinks available for purchase before each show.
