THE ROMAN ACTOR
by Philip Massinger
Directed by Aaron Oster
Monday, February 13 @ 7 pm
Broad Street Ministry (Broad/Spruce)
Art, desire and political intrigue collide in Massinger's dark comedy...
Poor Paris is just a Roman actor trying to get by. But he satirized the Senate, and now they want him dead. Fortunately, he's Caesar's favorite, so he might stand a chance; unfortunately, Caesar is a megalomaniac who might kill him anyway! And when Caesar's wife decides to stage a real-life seduction, Paris is suddenly thrust into the most dangerous role he's ever played.

CHANGES OF HEART (THE DOUBLE INCONSTANCY)
by Pierre de Marivaux
