Bedlam’s director of outreach, Stephan Wolfert, who conceived and stars in the piece, will introduce Boston audiences to Bedlam’s developing outreach programs for military veterans.
Tickets are a $20 suggested donation, and seating is limited.
About Cry Havoc
After six years in the army, Stephan Wolfert hopped off the Amtrak deep in the mountains of Montana and found himself at a performance of Richard III that would change his life forever. In a heartrending 75 minutes, Wolfert discovers his own experience pre- and post-service in the lines of some of Shakespeare’s most famous speeches, all the while exploring the possibility of a new experience. Is there room for improvement in the way in which we reintegrate our vets back into society? The military recruits citizens and trains them how to kill, but does not “un-train” them. What does the “de-cruit” process look like? How do we come together to re learn how to live? The performance is followed by an engaging talk back between actor, audience, and veterans that dares to answer these questions.
