Red and Black Stage: Upcoming show

Red and Black Stage presents:
The Real Thing by Tom Stoppard
February 23rd - March 24th, at the Santa Cruz Actors' Theatre.

About the Play: The Real Thing is a uniquely funny comedy about not-so-funny things from the Oscar-winning writer of Shakespeare in Love. The story revolves around a successful playwright, his lover, his ex-wife, an old friend, and an overzealous political activist. The play explores the many facets of love and marriage, radical politics, and the integrity of art while asking the age old question,"Does art imitate life or does life imitate art?"
About the cast: "It's official as of the 14th, the cast includes April Bennett, John Joseph Burke, Trevor Hofvendahl, Daniel D. Hughes, Steven Macramalla, Aimée Shunney, and Judith Wellner"

Reviews of "The Last Days of Judas Iscariot"

"A spectacular extravaganza of theatre that will give you something to talk about over dinner for quite a while. . . It's a parable of love and forgiveness, all dolled up in extraordinarily clever sequences that range from hilariously funny to outragesously ridiculous to thoughtfully poignant . . . great script by a contemporary playwright . . . outstanding visual experiences . . . directed with splendid timing and control . . . it soars and dips like a rollercoaster" Read more . . . - Ann Bennett, The Santa Cruz Sentinel

"Conversations about Judas Iscariot and forgiveness ignite the Pisces Moon stage." Read more . . . - Christa Martin (Review), The Good Times Weekly

"moments by Beckett, dialogue by Mamet and street talk by Spike Lee" Read more . . . - Bruce Bratton, BrattonOnline
