The Henchman: A Shakespeare Story at The NOLA Project

NOMA & The NOLA Project Premiere THE HENCHMAN: A SHAKESPEARE STORY

The NOLA Project closes the 2018-19 Season with its sixth-straight outdoor world premiere, THE HENCHMAN: A SHAKESPEARE STORY, by ensemble member and Big Easy Entertainment Awards Theater Person of the Year, Michael Aaron Santos. In this wondrous new sequel to A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM, the true story of Jacob, the little changeling boy who Oberon and Titania quarreled over many years ago, is revealed. Unexpectedly learning he is the long-lost son of the King of India, Jacob discovers he must now flee his fairy-world homestead to escape the pursuit of Esau, Jacob's warmongering brother who is hell-bent on dispatching Jacob, and claiming the throne. Oberon and Titania are forced to send Jacob with his faithful friend Puck to Greece to enlist the aid of Theseus and Hippolyta in an adventurous comedic follow up to the Bard's timeless tale.
