| Description |
Childe Byron is the impassioned story of Ada Lovelace, a Victorian mathematician who financed Charles Babbages development of the Analytical Engine, the precursor to what we know as the computer.
Dying of stomach cancer, wracked with pain, and in the throes of a laudanum-induced delirium, Ada conjures the ghost of the father she never knew: the modern eras first rock star, arguably Englands finest, and certainly its most notorious, poet, the mad, bad and dangerous to know George Gordon, Lord Byron.
Peopled with characters from Byrons life, including his domineering mother, the choirboy who was Byrons first great love, and Augusta Leigh, the half-sister with whom he had an incestuous affair, Childe Byron is a fever-dream of a play (Hedy Weiss, The Chicago Sun-Times) that should not be missed.
Featuring the Artistry of Stephen Torres as The Boy, Melissa Geston as The Girl, Samuel Frank as The Young Man, Renee Newlove as The Young Woman, Ricci Mazzuca as The Man, Dorian Ranta as The Woman, with Lisa Mercier-Taber as Ada, and Gregory Taber as Lord Byron.
Production Design and Direction by Lisa Mercier-Taber and Greg Taber
