Idle Muse Theatre Company Presents EQUIVOCATION at The Edge

Idle Muse Theatre Company (IMTC) brings truth to power with Bill Cain's Equivocation, September 20 - October 10 at The Edge Theatre Off Broadway.

The company breathes new life into this award-winning dramedy, directed by Artistic Director Evan Jackson*, blending historical events and fictional circumstances with six performers portraying more than 30 characters!

In the aftermath of the failed Gunpowder Plot of 1605 to assassinate King James I and destroy the British Parliament, playwright William Shagspeare is commissioned by the powerful Lord Robert Cecil to write the "true historie" of the plot...to the particular specifications of His Majesty. As they work to unravel the truth behind the conspiracy, navigating clandestine meetings, betrayals, and brawls, the King's Men acting company tests just how far they're willing to go for each other and to speak truth to power. When duty to country and pursuit of the truth collide, The Globe Theatre becomes the stage for Shag's darkest play yet - and the battle for a nation's soul. Fact, fiction, politics and comedy all vie for control in this critically acclaimed dramatic account of an historical national crisis.
