Who rises to rule and how far will he fall in the great clown kingdom of Who Would Be King? This new epic tale, created by Liars & Believers, swings from absurd buffoonery to high tragedy, with kinetic physicality, silliness, swords and a live band.
Adapted from the ancient tale of King Saul, Who Would Be King is the story of a good man given an impossible task, who stands up and fails nobly. It asks, what is the difference between good and great, and where is God between the two?
Help create Who Would Be King in this staged reading. Liars & Believers will present our work-in-progress, roughly staged, with scripts in hand and with a stripped down band. Then we’ll invite the audience to a post-show discussion to share thoughts about what worked, what was confusing and where we might go next. We’ll also discuss how we create the show, why we’re doing this and what inpired us. Get a peek and lend a hand behind the scenes of a new theatrical show.
Tickets are free, but be sure to reserve a seat.
