"Some rise by sin, and some by virtue fall." Five British actors use inventive staging to explore Shakespeare's rich morality play. Can a righteous woman preserve her dignity in the face of hypocrisy and corruption?
Founded in 1975 by Sir Patrick Stewart, the Actors From The London Stage (AFTLS) dual-focus residency program has toured the United States each spring and fall. The troupe is made up of a rotating cast of five classically-trained British actors from such prestigious companies as Shakespeare’s Globe, the National Theatre, and the Royal Shakespeare Company The AFTLS ensemble deftly combines innovative staging with essential props and simple costumes. Each actor shares responsibility for the direction of the play and performs two or three major roles (as well as several minor ones). Through imagination and collaboration, the cast conjures Shakespeare's immortal words and worlds into being.
