Red Bull Theater: The Jew of Malta
NYC’s Red Bull Theater, which revitalizes undersung classics, presented an in-person reading of The Jew of Malta earlier this week and you can watch a recording through the weekend. Christopher Marlowe’s 16th-century play is rarely revived due to its depiction of Barabas, a greedy, amoral Jewish merchant who makes Shylock look tame. Yet despite being 400-plus years old, the drama speaks to today in many ways, exploring themes of dirty politics, corruption, religious hatred and violence. The cast includes Hand to God Tony nominee Steven Boyer.
