The King’s Men Limited Engagement

The New York Premiere of The King’s Men runs now through August 2nd at The Waterfront Museum in Red Hook a floating barge in Brooklyn, NY. The farcical comedy written by Javen Tanner was inspired by Shakespeare’s plays & performed by a gender bending troupe of 9 electrifying women. The King’s Men is a play about men playing women & when Queen Elizabeth dies the theaters close, Shakespeare & his eccentric troupe of actors plot their next move. Playwright Tanner stated, "The King's Men began as a simple experiment: What if women played the men who famously played women? How does a man inhabit a woman’s body & how does a woman inhabit the body of a man playing a woman? But what emerged was a play that is ultimately about touch & specifically men touching women touches both damaging & healing.” The King’s Men is directed by Twenty Something's co-founder River Knight & the all-female cast features Carolyn Best, Quinn DeVillers, Esther Kohl, Alana Markel, AJ Molder, Madeline Rostmeyer, June Schreiner, Natalia Shane & Raina Soman. The creative/production team includes Max Van (set), Jade Lo (costume), Josh Healing (lighting), Justin Ma (sound), Colin Gallaher (hair/makeup) & Lola Basiliere (dramaturg) & stage management by Kristiana Priscantelli.
