Ben Butler News

To illuminate Shakespeare's most musical play, New Fortune has assembled a cast of talented actors, many of whom are also accomplished musicians and singers.

North Coast Repertory Theatre launches Season 41 with a slate of two World Premieres, one West Coast Premiere, and one San Diego Premiere highlighting an engaging, eclectic 2022-2023 seven-play series.

Boca Stage brings to life the lunacy of military bureaucracy in the critically lauded Ben Butler by Richard Strand. Part comedy, part history, this play is inspired by real-life figures. 

In this exciting play by Lee Hall, adapted from the 1998 Oscar-winning film by Marc Norman and Tom Stoppard, we get to witness a version of what might have been.

BEN BUTLER now playing at North Coast Reep through November 21st is based on a true historical event from the Civil War. Instead of rifles, this play takes on this historical battle with witty repartee and some thought-provoking arguments about deciding what is the right decision, what is the legal decision, and whether those may be the same things.

Written by Richard Strand, BEN BUTLER is part comedy, part history and completely captivating. General Benjamin Butler faces an impossible moral dilemma: follow the letter of the law or make a game-changing move that could alter the course of American history. It’s a battle of wit and word play as the characters spar with each other over respect, equality and civil rights.

Interview with Director David Ellenstein on how humor can be found in even the most serious of events, and BEN BUTLER, now playing at North Coast Repertory Theatre through November 21st finds the humanity and comedy during a pivotal moment of the Civil War.

North Coast Repertory Theatre continues its wholly live Season 40 by shining a light on a little-known chapter of the Civil War.
