"You, Nero" at Arena Stage November 24, 2011

Written by resident playwright Amy Freed
Directed by Nicholas Martin
In the Fichandler Stage
November 25, 2011 – January 1, 2012

As Rome collapses beneath Nero’s outrageous narcissism, a forgotten playwright tries to restore order through the art of theater in this “gloriously funny” (New York Times) farce. Amid the chaos of crime, lust and politics, convincing the world’s most famous debaucher to choose virtue over vice proves to be a Herculean task. Pulitzer Prize finalist Amy Freed’s wild romp questions whether well-crafted drama and intellect are any match for decadence and good old-fashioned bloodshed.
