See what happens when we present a revenge tragedy trapped inside of a comedy. Marston shows us an Italian court where rumor, honesty and betrayal fuel the heated and often hysterical pursuit of revenge. Lovers quarrel, lords repeatedly fail to oust each other, and no alliance is safe from instant decay.

About the technique
We bring you The Malcontent as an unrehearsed production - we only prepare the dances and fight choreography ahead of time, and discover the play with you in the moment of performance. The actors accomplish this by carrying cue scripts - scrolls containing just their lines and the few words that come right before - and performing the play on-the-fly and ready for anything. A prompter on stage keeps everyone on track and playing by the rules. We believe that this technique replicates the style of Elizabethan theaters, and we fully encourage a vocal, participating audience.
