Will Geer Theatricum Botanicum (Topanga, CA)

Bill Cain’s witty and thought-provoking exploration of governmental power and artistic integrity also manages to mix broad humor and tense political intrigue into an award-winning crowd-pleaser. Set in 1605 London, a down-and-out playwright named Shagspeare — yeah, you know who we’re talking about — receives a commission to write a play promoting the government’s version of Guy Fawkes’ treasonous plot. As Shag navigates the murky waters between writing a lie or losing his head, his devoted troupe keeps him afloat. Equivocation cleverly closes out Theatricum Botanicum’s season-long salute to the Bard’s 450th birthday.
