HE'S BORN, HE'S BORNE Comes to Undermain Theatre This Month

American theater icon, Tony award winning playwright and longtime Undermain Theatre collaborator, David Rabe is back! The long-awaited workshop production of his new play HE'S BORN, HE'S BORNE will be staged at Undermain Theatre in a limited run this April. In this new play, Rabe explores a primitive, medieval world inhabited by humble peasants, angels who tend the moon and stars and the specter of death who walks among them.

When a young child falls from a tree, the angel of death comes to claim him. The father embarks on an effort to hide the child with the help of an angel. In a world of agrarian human tribes and angels where death, in human form, roams the earth, everyone speaks in a language as broken as their circumstances while wandering monks speculate in highly formal language. The peasants struggle with the land and their place in the universe, absurdly comic in their ignorance and their effort to understand and decide anything about their lives, including whether or not another child should ever be permitted to be born.
