• Scenes From An Execution

  Scenes From An Execution
  Playwright: Howard Barker
  Director: Richard Romagnoli
  Cast: Jan Maxwell (Galactia), David Barlow, Alex Draper, Patricia Buckley, Rachel Ann Cole, Allison Corke, Will Damron, Tim Deenihan, Lucy Faust, Justine Katzenbach, Willie Orbison, Peter Schmitz, Jordan Tirrell-Wysocki and Robert Zukerman
  Synopsis: Galactia, a 15th century Venetian painter, is commissioned by the State of Venice to portray the Battle of Lepanto, a naval battle described as 'the greatest triumph of Venetian history.' However, her 1,000 square feet of canvas contains quite a different interpretation. Thus the battle over truth, freedom and responsibility is engaged.
