Henry VIII: All Is True
By William Shakespeare

With a story so explosive it literally set fire to the Globe Theatre, the Bard’s final historical tale takes us back to the religiously charged conflict between King Henry VIII and the English church—but this time, through the eyes of the King. After years of marriage to his brother’s widow, Henry begins to suspect that his union with Katherine of Aragon isn’t as holy as he thought. But is his doubt the only driving force behind his change of heart, or is his burgeoning love for the alluring Anne Boleyn also to blame? Find out as love is lost and gained and leaders fall from grace in Henry VIII: All Is True.

New Edgecliff Theatre

St. Nicholas
Directed by Michael Shooner

A burned-out theatre critic becomes infatuated with a young actress. Leaving his wife and children in Dublin to pursue his obsession, things become complicated in London when he finds himself in the employ of a coven of vampires! Written by Irish playwright Conor McPherson (The Weir, Shining City) and featuring New Edgecliff’s own Michael Shooner, this wicked and riveting one-man show is sure to captivate audiences. The Guardian (UK) says of McPherson: “…already heir to the great Irish tradition of absorbing tale-telling…He has a priceless narrative gift.” Don’t miss this theatrical event!

Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park

Dead AccountsJanuary 14 – February 11, 2012
Dead Accounts
At first, prodigal son Jack’s unexpected visit to Cincinnati from New York City appears to be an exercise in the mass consumption of comfort foods from his youth — Graeter’s, Skyline and LaRosa’s. However, his family soon wonders if he’s coming home or running away. And where did he get all the money? From the author of the hit comedy Bad Dates comes a world premiere that painfully and hilariously portrays Midwestern values and family dynamics to reveal why home remains important no matter where you live.
Always … Patsy ClineNovember 19, 2011 – January 22, 2012
Always … Patsy Cline
This heartfelt, toe-tapping tribute to musical legend Patsy Cline was a sold-out hit off-Broadway, around the country and at the Playhouse. Based on a true story, Always … Patsy Cline recounts the real-life friendship between Cline and star-struck divorcee Louise Seger. Featuring nearly two dozen favorite songs, including Patsy Cline’s signature hits “Crazy,” “Walkin’ After Midnight,” “Sweet Dreams” and “I Fall to Pieces.”

The Whipping Man
By by Matthew Lopez

It’s Passover, 1865. The Civil War has just ended and the annual celebration of freedom from bondage is being observed in Jewish homes across the country. Caleb DeLeon, a Jewish Confederate soldier, returns wounded from the battlefield to find his family home in ruins, abandoned by everyone except Simon and John, two former slaves, who were raised as Jews in the DeLeon home. As the three men wait for the family's return, they wrestle with their shared past as master and slave, uncovering a tangle of long-buried family secrets as well as new ones...ties that bind them together and that, ultimately, might cost each man his freedom.
