Playhouse Creatures Theatre Company has announced revised casting for Stephen Jeffreys’ The Libertine, to run November 5-20 at the Kirk Theatre on Theatre Row. Eric Tucker will direct the production, which will open on November 8.

Based on a notorious rake of the Restoration, the play tells the story of the flamboyant and scandalous John Wilmot, Second Earl of Rochester, confidante of Charles II, who was also an English poet and an anti-monarchist Royalist. The piece focuses on a moment his cynicism is confounded when he falls earnestly in love with an aspiring actress.

The company will feature Joseph W. Rodriguez (Earl of Rochester), along Libby Arnold, Eric Doss, Patricia Duran, Tom O’Keefe, Ross Hurwitz, Sarah Koestner, Claire Warden, and Harry Oram.

The creative team will include scenic designer Laura Taber Bacon , lighting designer Les Dickert, and costume designer by Angela Huff. Edward Davis will provide original music.
