Roaring
by The Archive Theater Company
Jul. 12 - Jul. 14
Friday-Sunday
Roaring explores the life of Mary Frith, a.k.a. Moll Cutpurse, a fascinating late Elizabethan performer and actor who defied gender norms and was immortalized in The Roaring Girl by Shakespearean contemporaries Thomas Middleton and Thomas Dekker. Known for being one of the first “women” on the Elizabethan stage, they were famous for their male attire, comic and musical showmanship, seedy shenanigans, and bold defiance of societal norms. Join the Archive Theatre at the tavern in July and explore a different side of Shakespeare’s London.
Roaring is written by Kathleen Fletcher and directed by Trace Turner.
