King John - Mended Wing Theatre Co. - Central Virginia Fringe Festival

The Central Virginia Fringe Festival welcomes Mended Wing Theatre Company! A grass-roots theatre company that tours small-cast productions of Shakespeare’s plays to schools, parks and other venues in the Southeast, Mended Wing presents its second installment of The Bard at The Fringe: King John.

John, the younger brother of the late Richard I, is the king, and a savage one. His opponent is a boy, his nephew Arthur, supported by the King of France and the Duke of Austria. After Arthur falls into John’s hands, John plots to torture him. Arthur’s capture gives Louis, the Dauphin of France, the opportunity to lay claim to John’s crown. John’s nobles support Louis, but he schemes to betray them.

King John finds its hero in another figure: Sir Richard Plantagenet, an illegitimate son of Richard I. Although he has an appetite for war, he also has a strong conscience and speaks with trenchant irony.

Join Mended Wing as they make Shakespeare resonate 400 years later!

At Wimberly Recital Hall, Randolph College
