“There are no morals in politics, there is only expedience. A scoundrel may be of use to us just because he is a scoundrel,” – Vladimir Lenin

“In a serious struggle, there is no worse cruelty than to be magnanimous at an inopportune time.” – Leon Trotsky

“Death is the solution to all problems. No man – no problem.” – Joseph Stalin

Welcome, Comrade, to the eve of the glorious revolution. They say that Caesar is ambitious, and sure, they are all honorable men. Men who gather in darkened corners and talk in whispers of righteous murder. Brutus, whose political survival instincts are continually subverted by his intellect and convoluted moral sense, is the Trotsky to Octavius’ surer, more relentless Stalin. And Brutus’ revolution will take the bloody and disastrous course of too many others, ending with a worse tyrant than the one Brutus set himself against.

Ticket prices: $20 General Admission, $16 Students/Seniors/Military, $12 Youth (12 and under with adult). Buy tickets here.

The Comedy of Errors at Laurel Mill Playhouse, Jan 16-Feb 1, 2015

Friday January 16, 2015 through Sunday February 1, 2015
William Shakespeare’s The Comedy of Errors
by William Shakespeare
Directed by Joshua McKerrow
Produced by Maureen Rogers

Location: Laurel Mill Playhouse

Shakespeare’s hilarious comedy comes to life in a colorful, lush production from Joshua McKerrow, director of the WATCH award-winning Lieutenant of Inishmore.

Improbable circumstances bring together a lively cast of characters in this early English farce. Mistaken identities… long-lost twins… long-lost parents… plus a hearty dose of slapstick comedy and witty wordplay. All set against the panoply of a glorious, exotic world.

Performances run weekends from Friday January 16, 2015 through Sunday February 1, 2015 with Friday and Saturday evening performances at 8 p.m, and Sunday matinees on January 25 and February 1 at 2:00 PM. Tickets are $20 for general admission. Admission for students (12 and under), active duty military and seniors (65 and over) is $15. For reservations, please call 301-617-9906 and press 2.
