About the Play

About the Playwright

“Our posturing, pomping, mumming, universe-shaking works are not important at all. We were merely spooning the pabulum of dreams.” Paul Foster's engaging play follows a rogue acting troupe as they illegally perform a tale about one of the Western world's most fascinating monarchs. Irreverent and wild, humorous and witty, the play exposes the absurdity of politics, not only in the Elizabethan Era, but also our own time. From bold theatrical moments to deep introspection, the play asks, “In the large scope of the universe, we have just a speck of time— what should we choose to do with it?”

Paul Foster is a playwright, theater director, and producer. He is a founding member and the first president of La MaMa. Foster is the author of 18 plays produced around the world, including Elizabeth I and Satyricon, as well as the libretto and lyrics for the musical Silver Queen Saloon. Foster has won numerous awards, including Rockefeller and Guggenheim Fellowships, National Endowment for the Arts and British Arts Council Award.
