Equivocation

Remember, remember, the 5th of November. When Prime Minister Robert Cecil commissions Shagspeare to write the “True Historie” of the Gunpowder Plot, Shag and his merry men discover the king’s version may be a cover-up. Does he take the money and betray his moral principles or risk his and his fellow Globe actors’ lives by writing a play that tells the truth? Bill Cain’s high stakes political thriller is one of the most intelligent and poignant theatrical plays in decades.
