An aging ruler, an oppressive police state, a restless, polarized people seething with paranoia: it’s a dangerous time for poets. Two of them—the great Kit Marlowe and up-and-comer Will Shakespeare—meet in the back room of a pub to collaborate on a history play cycle, navigate the perils of art under a totalitarian regime, and flirt like young men with everything to lose. One of them may well be the death of the other.
Directed by Sally Meehan
Auditions are Tuesday, July 7th at 7pm, at our rehearsal space at Electric Pyramid Studios, 709 Patterson Ave., Winston-Salem, and will consist of cold readings from the script. NO APPOINTMENT NEEDED!
Performances are Aug. 21-23, 28-30, 2026 at The Cissna Family Performance Place in the Pirolo Joyce Center, 4015 Brownsboro Rd. W-S
ROLES:
WILL - An idealistic, curious, driven, only-slightly-naive poet from a small town. Sympathetic to his characters and steadfast in his values.
KIT - Wildly charismatic and witty; a spy for Her Majesty. Playful, calculating, threatening, and seductive.
Casting Note: Historically they were 27–29 at the time. But age and appearance doesn’t much matter as long as they are wildly charismatic and roughly the same age.
All roles available! SGTC encourages gender non-conforming, genderqueer, transgender and non-binary actors to audition for all roles. We will also list race/ethnicity when specific to the character but are otherwise seeking all races and ethnicities.
Actors cast in our shows now receive a small stipend in acknowledgement of their work, talent, and time.
