Frank Cossa’s The Trials of Martin Guerre, revisits history’s most famous case of imposture. Is the man who came to the village after the war really Martin Guerre? If he is, why after three years are people claiming he isn’t? If he isn’t, why did people wait so long to challenge him? The facts of the trial are clear; the facts of the incident and the motives behind them probably never will be. Mark Bloom directs.
Women with more than one man in their lives can have some fun at The Trials of Martin Guerre and save some money, too. Every woman who brings two men paying full-price to a performance of the show will get her ticket for free! (Just like in the play, where one woman has, in effect, two husbands.)
