Full Circle Productions and the University of SC Department of Theatre and Dance will present the darkly comic and rarely staged Elizabethan-era play Arden of Faversham June 14-23 at the UofSC Lab Theatre.
Performances are at 8pm nightly, June 14-16 and June 20-23. Tickets are $10 each and available only at the door. The Lab Theatre is located at 1400 Wheat St., on the first floor of the Booker T. Washington building.
First printed in 1592, and to this date still listed as written by “Anonymous,” Arden of Faversham dramatizes the true story of the plot to murder greedy landowner Thomas Arden by his wife, Alice, and her cocksure secret lover, Mosby. Together they set in motion a series of increasingly complicated (and hilarious) assassination attempts, leading to a final scheme that threatens to lead all involved to a deadly fate.
“Comically sublime…reminiscent of films by Quentin Tarantino and the Coen brothers” — The Telegraph.
$10, only at the door
