The Aux Dog Theatre returns to the digital stage with Arden of Feversham as part of their celebrated Shakespeare 505 Festival. The production, directed by Colin A. Borden and produced by Artistic Director Victoria J. Liberatori, will be presented video on demand April 30th and May 1st & 2nd. Tickets are $10 and can be purchased https://auxdogtheatre2020.ticketspice.com/feversham.
Arden of Feversham was written in
1592 by an unknown playwright (some say Shakespeare, others think Kyd or Marlowe; the truth is lost to time!) and tells
the tragically comic tale of a philandering housewife who organizes the murder of her
unsuspecting husband. “It really is the Original True Crime Drama,” says
Borden. “Our playwright adapted the story from the gossip rags of Elizabethan London making the play an immediate smash in its day.”
The Aux Dog has assembled a cast of top-tier actors from all over the country.
“The joys of working virtually are that we have the opportunity to play with actors we’d otherwise never even have the
chance to meet,” says Borden.
The production will translocate London, 1592 for Boston, 1982. “The modern parallels are pretty profound,” continues Borden, who has adapted and streamlined the original verse script. “Humans are an astoundingly dastardly lot and always have been. It makes for a great night of theatre sure to please fans of the Bard and murder podcasts alike!”
