Muse Of Fire

Studio Stage
520 N. Western Ave. Los Angeles

War is brewing in and around a polarized England. From commoners to Kings, each must choose which truth to believe, and which cause to call their own. Muse of Fire re-explores the life affirming plays, Henry 4 (1 and 2) and Henry 5, through a freshly Foolish lens challenging our ideas of nationalism and leadership. From rambunctious taverns to vast battlefields, witness the journey of Hal as he ascends from playboy to one of the greatest Kings England has ever seen. In this epic of Shakespearean proportions, 13 actors take on over 50 roles from Hotspur to Falstaff celebrating the versatility and imagination of theatre.

"...While Mulhearn and company possess a devotion for the text, setting the piece in an unspecified epoch and on a mostly bare stage unleashes waves of creative frivolity. Examples include: a bored knight (Jahel Corban Caldera) perusing a modern-day travel guidebooks; the French as cigarette-puffing effete snobs who possess outlandish accents and are accompanied by background music befitting a Parisian cabaret; significant regal missives delivered in the most mundane format; blood from mortal wounds streaming with startling flair; a helmeted Irish miner in contemporary work clothes (Roberto Williams) confronting an English monarch."
