Sam Henderson, Seth Reichgott Set for Return Engagement of New Jerusalem at Lantern Theater Company
The Lantern Theater Company is set to present a return engagement of David Ives’ New Jerusalem, The Interrogation of Baruch de Spinoza at Talmud Torah Congregation: Amsterdam, July 27, 1656, running September 4-23. Charles McMahon will direct.
In New Jerusalem, as the Inquisition bears down on them, a small Jewish community flees Portugal to find a tenuous peace in seemingly liberal Amsterdam.
The play will feature the same cast as the original production, including Sam Henderson (Baruch de Spinoza), David Bardeen (Rabbi Mortera), and Seth Reichgott (Abraham van Valkenburgh), with David Blatt, Jake Blouch, Kittson O’Neill, and Mary Tuomanen.
Also returning is a design team featuring Nick Embree (set design), Maggie Baker (costume design), Shon Causer (lighting design), and Nick Rye (sound design).
