JESSE BERGER – IN CONVERSATION
Join us for a conversation with acclaimed American theatre-maker Jesse Berger, Founder & Artistic Director of New York's Red Bull Theater as he talks about his career in the arts and shares his perspectives on producing classical theatre for modern audiences.
Learn first-hand about Red Bull’s off-Broadway revivals of Rose plays including Christopher Marlowe’s Edward II, and William Shakespeare’s Titus Andronicus, which is currently performing until the 19th of April.
RED BULL THEATER was founded in New York in 2003, and is named after the rowdy Jacobean playhouse that opened in 1605 in Clerkenwell, on the northern edge of the City of London.
Taking the plays of Shakespeare and his contemporaries as their cornerstone, Red Bull Theater’s mission is to bring rarely seen classic plays to dynamic new life for modern audiences, and the company also produces new works that are in conversation with the classics. The company’s unique programming has seen it receive Lortel, Drama Desk, Drama League, Calloway, Off Broadway Alliance, and Obie nominations and awards.
JESSE BERGER has also directed productions of Pericles, The Revenger’s Tragedy, Women Beware Women, The Duchess of Malfi, The Witch of Edmonton, Volpone, 'Tis Pity She's a Whore, The Changeling, The Maids, Loot, and The Government Inspector for the company. He has also directed elsewhere in New York and across the country, and has taught and directed at numerous institutions, including the Juilliard School of Drama, NYU Tisch School of the Arts and Columbia University.
