PURE Historical, a branch of PURE Theater, has added dates to its amazing one-man play, The Tragedian. Written and performed by Rodney Lee Rogers, the monologue is the story of Edwin Booth, the great 19th-century actor famed for playing Shakespeare’s Hamlet and Richard III, and older brother of John Wilkes, the man who killed Lincoln.
The additional dates are part of PURE’s plans to offer works like The Tragedian (small, intimate, easy to produce) on an ongoing basis in venues around the city (though they hope to establish a more permanent home in the coming months). All the dates below are at the Circular Church on Meeting Street. Showtime is 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $25. —J.S.
Thursdays in February, March and April:
February 14 & 28
March 6, 13, 20 & 27
April 3, 10 & 17
