The streets are full of protest. Economic inequality strains the social fabric. Debates rage throughout a nation riddled with dissension and distrust. It’s election year in Rome, 493 B.C.E., and as unscrupulous politicians manipulate public opinion, the hypocrisy and humiliation of political campaigns drive away the country’s finest. But beneath this political drama looms the personal tragedy of one principled man’s emotional blindness. This visceral new production will feature Broadway luminary Patrick Page, Royal Shakespeare Company veteran Lisa Harrow, two-time Tony Award-winner Stephen Spinella and the New York debut of Dion Johnstone in the title role.
