One Flea Spare

New Repertory Theatre presents the Boston area premiere of Naomi Wallace’s One Flea Spare. Fleeing the plague in the streets of 1665 London, a poor sailor and a waif steal indoors, only to discover themselves in a quarantined residence, trapped with the Master and Mistress of the house. Fears of an outside world gone mad turn to jealousy and suspicion. They wait for either freedom or death, locked in a class struggle with sexuality as a driving and divisive force.
