Full cast and creative team are set for the Keegan Theatre’s production of The Hostage, by Brendan Behan. Directed by Mark A. Rhea, the production will play the Church Street Theater, February 21-March 9.
In the play, the IRA takes an innocent British soldier hostage in a bawdy Irish bar, and say that he will be shot if the British go through with the execution of an IRA youth. Keegan previously presented the play to great acclaim in 2003, and are bringing it back as part of the company’s 10th anniversary season.
The show will star David Jourdan (Pat), Sheri S. Herren (Meg), Kevin Adams (Monsewer), Joe Baker (Leslie), and Carolyn Agan (Theresa). The production will also feature Christina Coakley, Sally Cusenza, Shadia Hafiz, Jim Howard, Michael Innocenti, Mike Kozemchak, Timothy Lynch, Rich Montgomery, Roger Payano, Jane Petkofsky, Susan M. Rhea, Jennifer Richter, and Colin Smith.
The creative team will include George Lucas (set), Shadia Hafiz (costumes), Daniel Martin (lighting), Tony Angelini (sound), David Jourdan (musical direction), and Melissa-Leigh Douglass (choreography).
