Subversive Comedy
You, Nero
by resident playwright Amy Freed
NOV 25, 2011 – JAN 1, 2012 in the Fichandler
As Rome collapses beneath Nero’s outrageous narcissism, a forgotten playwright tries to restore order through the art of theater in this “gloriously funny” (
New York Times) farce. Amid the chaos of crime, lust and politics, convincing the world’s most famous debaucher to choose virtue over vice proves to be a Herculean task. Pulitzer Prize finalist Amy Freed’s wild romp questions whether well-crafted drama and intellect are any match for decadence and good old-fashioned bloodshed.
You, Nero is recommended for ages 18 and older.
