MFA Collaboration Series15/16 presents:
EQUIVOCATION
By Bill Cain Directed by Michael Cotey
Sunday, February 14, 2016 at 2:00PM

Hal and Martha Hyer Wallis studio theater space
Northwestern University - Wirtz Center
1949 Campus Drive
Evanston, IL 60208
Located on the southeast part of the Evanston campus just off Sheridan Road on Campus Drive. The Wallis is on the west side of the Theater building facing west.


Shagspeare (after a contemporary spelling of the Bard's name) is commissioned by the prime minister to write the "true history" of the infamous Gunpowder Plot of 1605 - a terrorist plan to assassinate the King and blow up Parliament. But as Shag and the acting company of the Globe investigate the plot, they discover that the King's version of the story might, in fact, be a cover-up. Shag and his actors are confronted with the ultimate moral and artistic dilemma. Speak truth to power—and perhaps lose their heads? Or take the money and lie? Is there a third option—equivocation?
