Bay Area Theatre: Shotgun Players' The Forest Wars

I love posting about friends' projects! Kevin Clarke emailed about the Shotgun Players' production of The Forest Wars, a play written and directed by Mark Jackson (Lisa Drostova of San Francisco Magazine wrote that Johnson's 2003 The Death of Mayerhold was "one of the best new plays to come out of the Bay Area in years"). Kevin is performing in the play, which opens at The Ashby Stage in Berkeley tonight and runs through to 14 January 2007.

THE FOREST WAR

Local phenomenon Mark Jackson, creator of the critically acclaimed The Death of Meyerhold

returns to Shotgun Players with a new work that is finely tuned and stunningly staged.

The Forest War is high theatrical tragedy, with lovers torn apart, cruel villains, political intrigue,

and a sense of melodramatic fun keeping pace with the drama. Though it takes an ancient form,

the debate over violence, politics, and personal opinion is one that we're all facing daily in

newspaper headlines, television broadcasts and around our dinner tables.

Previews: Wednesday, November 29 and Thursday, November 30
Opening: Friday, December 1
Runs: Thursday - Sunday through January 14, 2007
All performances at 8PM
