The Malcontent - The multiple award-winning Antaeus Company (winner of the Los Angeles Drama Critic's Circle Award for Outstanding Season for 2010) opens its second season of classics with a fully double-cast production of John Marston's viciously funny, filthy, and surprising masterpiece. The usurped Duke of Genoa takes the disguise of the outrageous Malevole (the titular Malcontent) to spy on the corrupt foibles of the new Duke and his unctuous cronies. Disguises, false deaths, seductions, deceptions, and adulteries all drive the plot of this enormously entertaining play.
The Antaeus Company strives to keep classical theater vibrantly alive by presenting professional productions with a top-flight ensemble company of actors. Taking their company name from the Titan who gained strength by touching the Earth, Antaeus members - many of whom are familiar to movie and television audiences - regain creative strength by returning to the wellspring of their craft: live theater performances of great classical plays.
