Widower's Houses, by George Bernard Shaw at the Kirk Theatre

Epic Theatre Center presents Widower's Houses, by George Bernard Shaw, adaptated by Ron Russell and Godfrey L. Simmons, Jr., opening at Theatre Row's Kirk Theatre on 14 Mar 2007, following previews from 5 Mar and running through to 8 Apr 2007.

In Ron Russell and Godfrey L. Simmons, Jr., adaptation the action in Widower's Houses is moved from the tenements of London in 1892 to the projects of Harlem one hundred years later. Part farce, part family drama, and part social inquiry, this production infuses this classic examination of the politics of housing for the poor with a contemporary setting and a hip-hop score.

Directed by Ron Russell, Widower's Houses features Peter Jay Fernandez, James Wallert, Rachael Holmes, Jessica Richardson, Godfrey L. Simmons, Jr., and Jacob Ming-Trent.

Set design by Cameron Anderson, with costumes by Meg Weedon, lighting by Tyler Micoleau and sound by Ron Russell.
