DOUBLE FALSEHOOD
| Open: 03/05/16 Close: 04/09/16
Double Falsehood follows two brave female protagonists, Violante and Leonora, and two contrasting leading men, Julio of honorable and modest birth, and Henriquez an aristocratic villain. The story starts with Henriquez, heir to the Duke Angelo of Spain, as he exploits his social privilege to scheme his way around beautiful women, greedy fathers and honorable brotherhoods, resulting in a disturbing yet enlightening tale of self-repentance and discovery within family, honor, madness, lust and relationships. “I’ve directed much of the Shakespeare canon so digging into this new text for the year has been thrilling. The female characters of Violante and Leonora have a depth of wisdom and intelligence about the dreadful double standards young women face that rings too clearly now.†-- shares director Andrew Borthwick-Leslie -- â€To work carefully and intensely with this terrific ensemble over such a long period has been rewarding but also disturbing about how little our understanding of gender roles and the influence of class has really changed.†Featuring Ariel Estrada*, Tom Giordano*, Montana Lampert Hoover, Adam Huff, Nolan Kennedy, Zach Libresco, Poppy Liu, Scarlet Maressa Rivera, and Welland Scripps. With scenic design by Steven Brenman, costume design by Mary Readinger, lighting design by Joe Doran*, musical direction by Nolan Kennedy, and fight choreography by Michael Toomey. Miriam Hyfler* is the stage manager, Libby Jensen is the production manager, Karen Ng is the company manager, Lynde Rosario is the dramaturg and assistant director, and Corinna May is the vocal coach. *Appearing Courtesy of Actors’ Equity Association. | |

| Gifts - A New Holiday Play
| Open: 12/04/14 Close: 12/21/14
Join The Letter of Marque Theater Company this holiday season for "Gifts", our new holiday play adapted from the classic story “The Gift of the Magi". "Gifts", looks at the holiday season through the lens of a modern relationship- joys and heartbreaks included. The show picks up where O'Henry's heartwarming tale of sacrifice leaves off, following the young couple from Christmas to Christmas as they learn and re-learn what it means to give, to receive and what they really want for themselves and for each other. Starring Welland H. Scripps and Scarlet Maressa Rivera, written and directed by Nolan Kennedy, with new and re-imagined music under the direction of mandolin virtuoso Samuel Day Harmet, a magical set designed by Steven Brenman, and an “olfactory wonderland” installation in the lobby, "Gifts" is poised to transport its audiences through nostalgia, heartbreak and self-discovery.
