The Fells Point Corner Theater presents The Whipping Man by Matthew Lopez
The Fells Point Corner Theater presents The Whipping Man, written by Matthew Lopez, October 14- 30th. The well-known Baltimore director, Barry Feinstein, leads the production, which tells the story of three Richmond Jews—a former Confederate soldier and two of his former slaves. The men are gathered around a makeshift Seder table at the close of the Civil War dealing with age-old questions of justice and freedom and finding new and surprising answers. The play opened in New York in 2006 and was acclaimed by the theater critics: “Haunting, striking, and powerful," said The New York Times. The production stars Percy Thomas, Michael Joseph Dolan and Ian Smith in a show that has earned rave reviews in over 40 cities since its New York opening. Performances at 8 pm Fridays and Saturdays and 2 pm on Sundays. Tickets are $15-$20 and can be purchased at www.fpct.org. The theater is at 251 S. Ann Street, Baltimore.
