The original cast and creative team of Oregon Shakespeare Festival’s production of Bill Cain’s Equivocation will reunite for Arena Stage’s presentation of the play at the Mead Center for American Theater, November 18-January 1. by OSF’s Artistic Director Bill Rauch directs.

Set in 1605 London, the worlds of King James and the Gunpowder Plot collide with William “Shagspeare” and his theatrical troupe in a startling cat-and-mouse game of politics and art.

The cast is led by Tony Award nominee Anthony Heald as Shag, and also features Jonathan Haugen as Cecil, John Tufts as Sharpe, Richard Elmore as Richard, Gregory Linington as Armin and Christine Albright as Judith.

The creative team will include set designer Christopher Acebo, costume designer Deborah M. Dryden, lighting designer Christopher Akerlind, composer and sound designer Andre Pluess, movement director John Sipes, voice and text director Rebecca Clark Carey, and dramaturg Lue Morgan Douthit.
