DOUBLE FALSEHOOD PROJECT
A WORKSHOP PRODUCTION
MAY 14 - 16, 2015. SHOW AT 8PM
SOUTH OXFORD SPACE, BROOKLYN
Letter of Marque Theater Co. presents a workshop production of Lewis Theobald's Double Falsehood. With ensemble-driven storytelling and performer generated music using "Soundpainting" with music director Nolan Kennedy, this production promises to be one of the most original mountings of this obscure play.
Double Falsehood, written in 1727 and based off of original Shakespearean manuscripts, is a layered exploration of honor, rape, discourse, dishonesty, promises and love. The classical text follows the form of a standard 5 act Shakespearean comedy, surfeit with cross-dressing, anguished lovers, foibled fathers, heroic royalty and privy (yet silent) citizenry. It is a smart and scathing contrivance that demands dialogue around why, in nearly 300 years, our society continues to deal in violence, blame and victimization. This initial showing is part one of a three phase project designed to start the conversation and incite a change of perspective in young adults and our society as a whole.
