Resurgens returns this spring with a stirring early modern account of one leader’s defiant stand against mob violence and groupthink in an era of autocratic misrule. Partially penned by Shakespeare, Sir Thomas More offers both a timely and timeless drama of individual courage in the face of mass conformity. The original production was banned from the Elizabethan stage by the Master of the Revels, Edmund Tilney, because of its controversial references to insurrection. Finally, over 400 years later, Dr. Brent Griffin brings this long-suppressed work to life as part of Resurgens’ yearlong sequence of plays, “Shakespeare’s Apocrypha Now.” Performance dates are April 16-18 at 8:00 p.m. and April 19 at 2:00 p.m.

All performances will be at our new venue, the historic Pythagoras Masonic Temple (108 E. Ponce de Leon Ave.) in Decatur.

Tickets are only $20, and are available online below

or at the Box Office prior to the show.
