All are welcome at this staged reading of an unknown play by a contemporary of Shakespeare, Thomas Heywood. The Golden Age (1611) presents a whirlwind survey of Jupiter’s rise to power as he usurps the throne of his father Saturn, and it shows some of his romantic liaisons he has along the way. The play is the first part of an ambitious five-play mythological cycle Heywood wrote to give London audiences a survey of classical mythology before most of his Latin and Greek sources had even been translated into English. Directed by Dr. Toph Marshall (AMNE) and using a newly-edited script, this performance of The Golden Age introduces Heywood and shows the dynamism and theatrical energy he brings to the stage.
