Setting: Fowkes Tavern, the Colony of Virginia, 1665. Inspired by a dream (and a few drinks), a ragtag troupe of amateur thespians put on a play. A bear waxes poetic, a cannon explodes, and the American Theater is born.
Based on historical court records, No.11 Productions’ brand new play Ye Bear & Ye Cubb drops the fourth wall, immersing audiences in a colonial tavern for a high octane reimagining of the first known English-language play in North America — and the trial it ignites.
Grab a pint and sharpen your sewing skills; this little bear is going to cause quite an affair.
