Directed by Bacon, a seasoned professional with a 40-year career in New York City and Europe, and co-directed by Picard, a talented German-born actor and director, THE MASQUE OF NIGHT seamlessly blends Shakespeare's iconic text with chamber music and songs by David Bowie, Depeche Mode, Rufus Wainwright, and original compositions by Musical Director Flavio Gaete. The four actor-musicians will transport the audience to the very heart of the iconic lovers' timeless journey.
Originally performed in Casa Clara in March, THE MASQUE OF NIGHT completed its New Jersey premiere on June 7th and 8th at Hopewell Mt. Christian Church. Now, New Place Players returns to Casa Clara, accompanying Shakespeare's text with chamber music and song, weaving both classical and contemporary, and allowing the performers to transport you to the very heart of the lovers' timeless journey.
