Riot and Dishonor

by Luke Brett

Embark on a journey of self indulgence, cocksure poetry and collateral damage as Jack Falstaff (age 15) slams into adolescence. Drinking, fights, mistaken identity and the Peasant's Revolt of 1381 rage across a backdrop of wayward wenches and reprobates. All the bumps and bruises of youth are here delivered in iambic pentameter at punk rock speed

Riot and Dishonor

    This play has so much fun, lovable chaos. Its scrappy, underdog Guardians-of-the-Galaxy-meets-Shakespeare heart wins us from the word “go” and doesn’t let us off the hook throughout the wild rollercoaster of Falstaff and Bardolph’s adventures. I loved every minute of these messy teens fighting for life and joy.

    At its heart this piece is one of fabulous adventure supported by vivid dialogue with a pace that allows it to delicately waltz in some places and deliver hard jabs in others. All of this while offering a lovely sized cast to make this more of a theatrical experience then something an audience will just observe. Its a fabulous experience of poetry and performance in one!

    An absolutely knockout. Bold, brash, clever, and fresh.
