Livestream performance on March 15th, 2021 at 7:30pm EST. Tickets available now!
A benefit reading presented by Red Bull Theater and the Drama League, as a part of their DirectorFest 2021. Directed by Emma Rosa Went. Featuring Olivia Rose Barresi as Gallathea.
First performed in 1588, John Lyly's Gallathea is a queer love story set inside the landscape of classical myth. In order to avoid becoming dinner for a sea monster, Gallathea and Phillida are sent into the forest dressed as boys. Meanwhile, three shipwrecked brothers set out to seek their fortunes, Cupid stirs up his usual trouble, nymphs fall for mortals, and Neptune–God of the Sea–waits to make his move. This playful pastoral of love, desire, and finding yourself is an affirmation of identity–joyfully reclaimed for 2021.
This event will premiere live on Monday, March 15. A recording of the livestream will be available until 7:00 PM EST on Friday, March 19 26 – then it disappears!
