Alice Arden has a problem. She’s fallen hard for a handsome fellow with a promising future. But he’s not her husband. What’s an early modern woman to do? When “Love is a god, and marriage is but words,” there’s only one answer—hire some hit men, of course! Resurgens concludes “Shakespeare’s Apocrypha Now” with the earliest “true crime” drama composed for the English stage, Arden of Faversham. Directed by Dr. Brent Griffin, our historically informed production offers a rare opportunity not only to experience this pioneering work of domestic tragedy, but also to hear Shakespeare’s beginnings as a collaborative playwright and theatre practitioner.
