UNSEX'D to Make U.S. Premiere at Little Shakespeare Festival This August
Five performances to play Under St. Marks Theater beginning August 2.
JB Theatricals will present the U.S. premiere of UNSEX’D, a bawdy and irreverent new satire set in the world of Shakespearean boy-players, as part of The Little Shakespeare Festival at Under St. Marks Theater. Directed by Josh Bradley, the Equity-approved showcase will run for five performances from August 2–17.
Set in Elizabethan London, Unsex’d follows Wilburn, a fading star of the stage, and Humphrey, a beautiful young upstart with ambitions as grand as his cheekbones. As the two actors vie for the coveted role of Lady Macbeth, their rivalry quickly escalates into a theatrical spectacle of jealousy, lust, and cutthroat ambition—complete with dark magic and gender-bending intrigue.
The cast features Sam Given* (The Inheritance) as Humphrey and Johnny Vorsteg* as Wilburn. The creative team includes Abigail Kastenberg* (Stage Manager), Ella Labaj (ASM), Sarah Lillian Brownstein (Intimacy Director), Tiffany Tuck (Producer), and Anthony Paul-Cavaretta (Costume Design).
