Episode #223 - The Reckoning of Kit & Boots and Hope’s Arbor
The episode opens with an excerpt from The Reckoning of Kit & Little Boots performed by Nat Cassidy (playwright and actor) and David Ian Lee (actor). We are given a real feel for this play in this short scene between the Roman Emperor Caligula and Marlowe, the writer.
Martin Denton moderates a discussion with Neal Freeman and Anna Moore, co-producers of The Reckoning… and Hope’s Arbor. Most interesting is why and how these two plays are being done in repertory and, even more unusual, the fact that this three week run will have its first two weeks at The Gallery Players in Brooklyn and its third week at Manhattan Theatre Source in Manhattan.
Martin leads a discussion of what each play is about and how the choice of doing them represents a sort of ‘mashup’ that really seems to work. Actress Lauren Marcus gives a taste of Hope’s Arbor as she renders one of the short monologues in this play.
Stay tuned for the end of the podcast when Neal offers listeners a “cast, friends, and family” discount if you offer the appropriate code when ordering tickets.
