Gingold Theatrical Group's PROJECT SHAW opened John Bull'S OTHER ISLAND: an Irish Comedy of Passion and Potcheen by George Bernard Shaw on Monday, April 19, hosted by New York Post columnist and "Theater Talk" co-host Michael Riedel. BroadwayWorld was on hand to capture the evening.
Gingold Theatrical Group, made history last December as the first company ever to present every play (including full-length works, one-acts and sketches) written by George Bernard Shaw.
In John Bull'S OTHER ISLAND, best friends and business partners, Broadbent (Reg Rogers) and Doyle (Marc Vietor), journey back to Doyle's Irish hometown to buy up land to develop. What they don't count on is the power of the locals, particularly Nora Reilly (Charlotte Parry) and the defrocked priest, Keegan (Daniel Jenkins), who talks to grasshoppers. In fact, the entire town is full of extraordinary characters who conspire to turn this business trip into a hysterical life-changing weekend for all concerned, fueled by plenty of Potcheen.
Directed by David Staller, the play's cast will feature Mark Aldrich (RAGTIME), Nora Chester, Ed Dixon, Ian Gould, Daniel Jenkins (LOVE CHILD), Tim Jerome, James Ludwig, Charlotte Parry (EQUIVOCATION), Reg Rogers (ROYAL FAMILY), Alexander Sovronsky, Henry Stram, Dan Truman, and Mark Vietor (PRESENT LAUGHTER).
