Event

Sweet William

The infield dirt turns to mud, and the diamond loses its shine, as the meanest major leaguer who ever wore spikes finally submits to an interview fifty years after his playing days.

What was Willie's part in baseball's most sordid sex scandal? What really happened to the team owner's missing daughter?

A rollicking tragicomedy told in flashback - a sordid tale of virtue and vice; sunshine fields and shadowy back rooms - where only the Grim Reaper can call the final out.

Doug Reed, writer of the 2011 hit The Lamentable Tragedie of Scott Walker , returns to the Broom Street director's chair after a five-year absence, with a play that explores sex, revenge, and baseball. The cast are a blend of longtime local theatre stalwarts and Monkey Business Institute improvisers. The ensemble consists of Jamie England, Scott Fraizer, Keith Huie, Loryn Jonelis, Adam Loux, Kelly Maxwell, Donnovan Moen, Bob Moore, Heather Renken, and John Steeno in a multitude of roles.

Sweet William by Doug Reed will run at Broom Street Theater at 8pm March 18th until April 9th. More details will be available on the theater's website bstonline.org . Tickets are $11.00.
