The LIFE AND DEATH OF KING JOHN (Insurgo Theater Movement)


Insurgo Theater Movement
presents

THE LIFE AND DEATH

OF KING JOHN

by William Shakespeare

Insurgo premieres a new adaptation of William Shakespeare’s
rarely performed classic.

The “cutting-edgiest dramahounds in town” (CITY LIFE)
offer a provocative original staging at the Insurgo Theater,
located on the third floor of the Plaza Hotel & Casino
in downtown Las Vegas, Nevada.

The Play presents a struggle for the crown of England,
in this play however the struggle is located much further back
in English history than usual.
And perhaps for that reason,
it is waged with a strikingly cold-blooded brutality.
Most of the contestants for the throne are the descendants of
King Henry the Second and Eleanor of Aquitaine.
The couple’s eldest son, Richard the Lionheart,
has been killed before the play begins.
Richards royal kin who compete to occupy the throne he vacated
possess none of the Lionhearts legendary heroism,
but John, the late Richards youngest brother
who holds the crown when the play opens,
lacks none of Richards savagery.
Johns opponent is a boy, Arthur,
the son of another of Johns elder brothers now deceased.
Arthurs cause has been taken up by the Kings of France and Austria,
but nonetheless the boy falls into King Johns hands
among the spoils of victory John enjoys when he defeats
France and Austria on the battlefield.
But Arthurs capture fails to secure the throne for John,
providing the opportunity for Lewis, Prince of France,
to lay claim to his crown – a claim supported by the outraged nobles of England
whom Lewis befriends with a savage treachery to match Johns.
While there are no royal heroes in King John,
the play finds its voice in the Bastard,
Sir Richard Plantagenet, illegitimate son of the Lionheart

whose journey to self-realization crystallizes the play.

May 25 – June 16
Thursdays through Saturdays at 7pm

The DIARY OF ANNE FRANK (Jewish Rep.)

The Jewish Repertory Theatre
Presents Sundays at the Smith

ANNE FRANK

by Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett

Anne Frank, is one of the best known figures of the 20th Century
and her famous diary was written between 1941 and 1944
while in hiding from the Nazi’s in occupied Holland.
It is an impassioned drama about the lives of eight people
living in a concealed storage attic,
and captures the claustrophobic realities of their daily existence….
their fear, their hope, their laughter and their grief.
This powerful play, for all ages,
is a symbol of a young girl’s belief, in human kindness,
innate goodness and her hope for a better future.
