God’s Spies
By Bill Cain
Directed by Artistic Director Marti Lyons
Featuring Core Ensemble Member Linda Gillum
April 5 – May 14, 2023
A World Premiere
London, 1603. A famous playwright is beset by self-doubt after writing the world’s greatest play, Hamlet. The plague grips the city, and the playwright is forced into quarantine with an idealistic young lawyer and a shrewd sex-worker. As the city burns just outside their door, they turn to creativity in order to survive, and a new masterpiece is born from the ashes. Bill Cain’s God’s Spies is a funny and heart-wrenching love-letter to Shakespeare and the value of art during times of struggle.
