To conclude our “A Marlowe of All Seasons” series, Resurgens returns this summer with scorching hot butchery and carnage—Christopher Marlowe’s The Massacre at Paris! Join us as we bathe metrically in the murderous atrocities surrounding St. Bartholomew’s Day, 1572. Directed by Dr. Brent Griffin, our “original practices” production of this early modern rarity proclaims “[t]hat peril is the chiefest way to happiness,” wherein ruthless ambition provides “those never dying flames / Which cannot be extinguish’d but by blood.”

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

Show dates are June 20-21 at 8:00 p.m., and June 22 at 2:00 p.m.

Tickets are only $20, and are available online below

or at the Box Office prior to the show.
