Greg Webster News

Long Wharf Theatre will present Split Knuckle Theatre's production of Endurance to begin its 2014 Summer Season.

It's the age-old story: young D'Artagnan (Will Haden) arrives in Paris looking for adventure and to pursue his father's place as one of the king's special guard. He is befriended by The Three Musketeers, Athos (Thomas Brazzle), Porthos (Anthony J. Goes) and Aramis (James Jelkin) and soon finds himself in the middle of swashbuckling swordfights, treason and romance.

What stands out about this production is the really terrific fight choreography by Greg Webster. Steel clashes and extended sword battles rage in some of the most thrilling, realistic looking onstage battles you'll ever see. One battle breathtakingly stops, only to resume after intermission.

Bated Breath will be in residency at Real Art Ways this summer, creating new bite-sized works of interactive theatre inspired by the visual arts program.
