The Brutes
by Theatre Synesthesia
Oct. 04 (2017)
Through the abstract lens of Casey Wimpee, THE BRUTES is a look into the Booth family, less than six months before the assassination of Lincoln, during the only time all three brothers shared the stage. While rehearsing over the week of Thanksgiving, the family attempts to put politics aside and come together for a benefit dedicated to a figure they all rightly value and respect, William Shakespeare.
