Academy Award Nominee McGovern Stars In Mamet's THE SHAWL At The Arcola Theatre Sept. 9 - Oct. 3

The Arcola Theatre will present a revival of David Mamet's THE SHAWL, starring Academy Award nominee Elizabeth McGover. Directd by Amelia Nicholson, the production will run 9 September through 3 October, 2009

"A troubled woman seeks guidance from a silver-tongued clairvoyant, who in turn reveals to a manipulative young trick the art of his craft. But who's deceiving who? Is there such a thing as an honest charlatan?"

Mamet's razor sharp text is a lyrical exploration of trust, greed and betrayal, and the power of spiritual knowledge in a secular world.

McGovern will appear opposite Matthew Marsh and Paul Rattray.

The production features design by Anna Bliss Scully, sound by Tom Gibbons and lighting by Richard Howell.

All shows start at 8pm.
