    The Maltese Bodkin <http://www.cvlt.org/80thSeason/maltesebodkin.php>/*

    *a comedic mystery by David Belke *

*Friday, February 5 at 8 PM
Saturday, February 6 at 8 PM*

*Directed by David Malinowski *

Times were tough for hard boiled detective Birnam Wood. He never asked 
to be in London. Especially in 1605. Danger, daggers and dames abound in 
this comedic mystery with a Shakespearean twist. First produced for the 
1990 Edmonton Fringe Theatre Festival, the largest theatre festival in 
North America, The Maltese Bodkin is a two-hour adventure that's as 
packed with laughs as it is layered with literary jokes.

The story follows a detective named Birnam Wood (Bobby Thomas). When 
Wood's partner is found dead with a dagger in his back (a bodkin 
decorated with Maltese markings), the hard-boiled 'private dick' has to 
search for the killer amidst a cast of crazy suspects portrayed by a 
band of nine talented actors under the direction of David Malinowski. 
The familiar Shakespearian characters include Viola (Kacey Durbin), 
Charlotte and Puck (Amy Pelleg), Antionio, Donalbain, Guildenstern and 
Sebastian (Dan Jacobsen), Iago, Falstaff and Ratcliff (Mark DePompei), 
Catesby and Fang (Roger Atwell), Mercutio and Rozencrantz (Nate Earley), 
Richard III and Prospero (Rollin DeVere) and Quickly (Yvonne Pilarczyk).

    Mr. Death and the
    Redheaded Woman <http://www.cvlt.org/80thSeason/mrdeath.php>/*

    *A world-premiere folk-musical!*
    based on the original story by
    Helen Eustis
    with
    Music and Lyrics by Bill Rowe
    Book by Shelley Costa

*Fridays & Saturdays at 8 PM
February 12 - 27*

*at the River Street Playhouse, 56 River St.
Directed by Pamela Ruiz *

CVLT's River Street Playhouse presents the world-premiere of a new 
musical by local musician Bill Rowe and local playwright Shelley Costa. 
Based on Helen Eustis' story /The Rider on the Pale Horse, a short story 
of the Old West/, the musical /Mr. Death /tells of Maude Applegate (Lisa 
Tarr), who makes a bargain with Mr. Death (Brian McCann) to spare the 
life of Billy-be-damn Bangtry (Jon Gellott), her own true love. Also 
taking part in the tale are 'Granny' (Natalie Dolezal) and Bill Rowe as 
the narrator.

Originally published in the Saturday Evening Post in 1951, /The Rider on 
the Pale Horse/ was dramatized in the 1950s for an episode on General 
Electric Theater starring Lee Marvin and Eva Marie Saint, and then 
danced, in a separate episode, by choreographers Gower and Marge Champion.

Helen Eustis, currently living in Manhattan, has graciously given Bill 
Rowe and Shelley Costa permission to adapt her wonderful Western fairy 
tale for musical theater. The result, Mr. Death and the Redhead Woman, 
is a lively one-act play with five characters and thirteen original 
songs. Rowe and Costa first collaborated in 2007, when their full-length 
musical, /These People/, was produced at the River Street Playhouse.
