Equivocation
By Bill Cain

Set in 1606 England, King James’s righthand man William Cecil commissions William Shagspeare to write the “true historie” of Guy Fawkes’ infamous Gunpowder Plot. As Shag investigates the story, he discovers that the government’s version might be less than truthful. Should he take the money and write a propaganda piece – or risk losing the theatre and perhaps even his head? An entertaining tribute to art, politics, and the perils of negotiating both, Equivocation is a high-stakes political comedy with contemporary resonances.
