Another Country Gets Another Opportunity All An Act s pre-recorded dress rehearsal streaming this weekend only by Matt Swanseger
FRIDAY, APR. 23
If it can happen in another country, it can most certainly happen here 2020 made that painfully obvious. A foreign pandemic settled stateside. Police brutality, hate crimes, intimidation, and unrest if they ever
were perceived as distant phenomena became uncomfortably immediate.
In this sense, the All An Act production of playwright Julian Mitchell s
Another Country is perhaps even more relevant now than it would ve been a year ago, when it was initially scheduled. Set in an upper-class, all-boys public school in 1930s England, the plot follows the plight of social outsiders Guy Bennett (a closeted homosexual) and Tommy Judd (a Marxist) after discovering a classmate s suicide. The story is loosely based on the real-life events of Soviet spy Guy Burgess.
