Equivocation
About the Show
What happens when England’s dirtiest politician tries to hire Shakespeare as his spin doctor? Set your own ticket price to see total mayhem break out – including an on-stage hanging and beheading.
Widely acclaimed in its 2010 Broadway premier, Equivocation is a dazzling blend of comedy, tragedy, magic and farce. There’s never a dull moment as six actors create a cast of 29 characters in playwright Bill Cain’s explosive story of power, corruption and deceit.
Described by the Chicago Sun-Times as an “enormously smart, witty, multilayered, political-personal, centuries-crossing, theater-teasing, Shakespeare-embracing play,” the reviewer enthused that Equivocation “zooms along with all the hip humor of a writers’ meeting for Jon Stewart’s ‘The Daily Show.'”
Audiences are invited to pay whatever they wish for this Rhinebeck Theatre Society production, directed by Ellen Honig and produced by Karen Forray.
