Off-Broadway's Red Bull Theater will continue its 20th anniversary festival this year with the New York premiere of Bill Cain's thriller God's Spies.
Staged on April 23, William Shakespeare's 460th birthday, the play expands upon the 1603 plague pandemic which shuttered London's theatres, and the theoretical ripple effect his experiences during that shutdown had on his artistry.
The one-night-only production, which will be directed by Nathan Winkelstein, will star Zainab Jah, Zachary Lopez Roa, and Nick Westrate.
Said Red Bull founder and artistic director Jesse Berger, “Bill Cain has taken an interesting historical footnote and turned it into an insightful and passionate thriller. I can’t wait to hear it aloud with this crackerjack cast, and you will be glad if you can be there too!”
