The off-Broadway company Pocket Universe is currently in rehearsals for their new production of Francis Beaumont and John Fletcher's The Maid's Tragedy, set to run June 13-30 at the Access Theater. See photos from the rehearsal room in the gallery below.

The Jacobean revenge drama will be reset in present day Hollywood, where sexual misconduct allegations jeopardize the careers of a powerful film producer and an actress. Conceived by Alyssa May Gold, the production is directed by Lucy Gram.

Featured in the company are Erin Roché as Melantius, Greg Carere as Amintor, Alyssa May Gold as Evadne, Michael Thatcher as the King, Sydney Battle as Aspatia, and Aleca Piper as Calianax, Dula, and Lysippus. The production will have lighting design by Christina F. Tang, movement direction by Valentine Aprile, and fight direction by Ned Donovan.
