The Amateurs by Jordan Harrison (SOLD OUT)
About
An itinerant troupe of actors attempt to outrun the Black Plague in The Amateurs, a 14th century-set play by Jordan Harrison. We are thrown into the tragicomedy of a Morality play, experiencing a version of what dominated Western theatre during the Medieval period. Complete with masks and biblical narratives these low status actors rehearse their plays. Stepping in and out of character, we are curious about where this play could take us. The arrival of a mysterious outsider sends Hollis, the leading lady, in search of answers and the14th century plague begins to look like another, more recent one. This inventive and funny new work becomes even more curious when the fourth wall is broken and out steps the playwright.Parking around the streets of Ad Astra can be tricky at times, please click website to plan ahead for your night out with us as quite often our doors close right on time with no late entry.
