Next Act Theatre "Equivocation"

Equivocation by Bill Cain February 1 – 25, 2018 William Shakespeare is commissioned by Sir Robert Cecil, the most powerful man in England, to write the true history of the Gunpowder Plot — a failed attempt to kill King James I. But as Shag and his actors rehearse their new play, they suspect the government’s version might be a product of “alternative facts.” Now, the greatest writer of all time must decide between writing a lie and losing his soul, or writing the truth and losing his head.Michael Cotey, Director Mark Ulrich as Shag David Cecsarini as Sir Robert Cecil/Nate/Thomas Percy Josh Krause as Sharpe/Thomas Wintour/King James I Jonathan Smoots as Richard/Father Henry Garnet T.
