MAD BREED May 10, 2008

What the critics are saying about Mad Breed:
"Mad Breed exemplifies why I love theatre...it defied my expectations, it made me laugh and it sparked my curiousity" Janice Crane, DC Theatre Scene
"a winsome romance" "a veritable education-sprinkled play with fascinating details from Maryland's antebellum history and racial past." Patrick Follard, The Prince George's Gazette.
"The well executed fight scenes fascinate the younger members of the audience" Karen Lalonde Alenier, The Dresser

MAD BREED—on the eve of their parents’ wedding, the offbeat teenaged siblings of John Wilkes Booth decide to put on a play. All is going well until Adah, an African American freewoman with Shakespearean dreams, arrives and the complications begin. Experience the insanity, brilliance, fisticuffs and over-the-top sibling rivalry of one of Maryland’s most notorious families one glorious summer evening on a family farm in Belair, Maryland.
A historic comedy for all ages.
