Equivocation
Ostensibly Bill Cain's comedy-drama is about the Gunpowder Plot of 1605 (where 13 conspirators schemed to blow up Parliament). And William Shagspere (aka the Bard himself) tires to discover the truth for a play he's writing. That's plenty enough for a historical mystery. But Cain -- wanting to impress us? -- adds several other plots. These make his piece a long sit. Lamb's Players and director Deborah Gilmour Smyth give a crisp, clear, and lively presentation that sustains interest (should Shakespeare tell the truth, and lose his life?; or can he "equivocate" and tell it by other means?) when the playwrioght takes side-trips. Sean Fanning's excellent set (the original Globe stage) and Diana Elledge's resonant cello enhance throughout. Worth a try.
