THE PLAY

When Jon was a boy, his father was shot—and suddenly their lives were part of history. Years later, when staging a production of Hamlet, the son must confront his buried feelings about a crime that shocked the nation. In this evocative new play, Artistic Director Tony Taccone imagines a fable for San Francisco based on the assassination of Mayor George Moscone. The ghost of the king stalks the battlements of a boy’s mind—and speaks to all of us about love and loss. A poetic collage of fiction and memory, this world-premiere production is staged by none other than Jonathan Moscone.

THE BUZZ

“Jonathan Moscone is fearless. The artistic director of California Shakespeare Theater takes on big challenges the way a scrappy gym fighter takes on the heavyweight champion.”— San Francisco Chronicle

“Tony Taccone may very well be the most prominent artistic director in America right now.”—Playbill
