"Who seem most crafty prove oft times most fools." How far would you go to get out of debt? This twisted comedy follows the appropriately named Witgood in his uproarious quest to lie, cheat and hustle his way back into the black. Broke, abandoned by his family, and in debt to his eyeballs, Witgood has nothing to rely on but his wit and his only two allies, a barkeep and a harlot. Thankfully, he has a plan! Middleton's hilarious Jacobean city comedy is a rip-roaringly relevant tale of one scoundrel's personal financial crisis and his one wild chance to get back at his creditors.

Future Revelation Readings will include Philip Massinger's The Roman Actor, Shakespeare's Coriolanus, Frances Burney's The Woman Hater, Shakespeare's Hamlet, William Congreve's The Way of the World, and the sixth annual Short New Play Festival, with casts that include Steven Boyer (Hand to God), Arnie Burton (Irma Vep - Red Bull Theater; Lives of the Saints); Carson Elrod (Peter and the Starcatcher, Reckless, Noises Off), Chukwudi Iwuji (Henry VI Trilogy - Royal Shakespeare Company, Tamburlaine, King Lear); Arian Moayed (Bengal Tiger at the Baghdad Zoo), Patrick Page (The Duchess of Malfi - Red Bull Theater, Spring Awakening), Jay O. Sanders (Titus Andronicus, "Person of Interest"), and Nick Westrate (Loot - Red Bull Theater, Casa Valentina), among others.

Thomas Middleton and William Rowley's The Changeling, directed by Jesse Berger, just opened its limited Off-Broadway engagement at The Lucille Lortel Theater (121 Christopher Street). Performances continue through January 24th only. How far will you go to follow your heart? Beatrice-Joanna is in love with Alsemero - who is unfortunately not her fiancée. But when she employs her loathsome servant De Flores to bump off her betrothed, the price is her own virgin flesh. Together with a madcap subplot set in an insane asylum, this brilliant and rarely performed Jacobean tragedy explores the follies of love and the nature of madness.

Richard Brinsley Sheridan's The School For Scandal, directed by Marc Vietor, will begin its limited run April 8th at the Lortel Theater. Opening Night is set for April 24th, 2016. In this comic masterpiece, Sheridan mercilessly dissects a social network of grotesques, gossips, lustful hypocrites and anonymous assassins of reputation who live in a world without privacy, morality or taste. After seventeen years abroad Oliver Surface returns home incognito to test the true characters of his nephews, Charles (a prodigal, apparently), and Joseph (a paragon, supposedly). Meanwhile he discovers his old friend Peter Teazle has wed a young country wife and is in marital purgatory, being victimized in print and society by a spiteful team of imbeciles and rumor-mongers - Fun for the whole family.

Red Bull Theater's OBIE Award-winning Revelation Readings (Monday evenings at 7:30pm) present staged readings of new and rarely performed classic plays from all eras and cultures.
