This period comedy set in 18th century England involves a cowardly young gentleman named Lucidus (Strong), who initiates a pistol duel then finds that he can’t go through with it. So he hires a common criminal to fight in his place, only to have the scoundrel make a bloody mess of things.

The production will feature sets by David Zinn, costumes by Gabriel Berry, lighting by Ben Stanton, and sound by Jane Shaw.
