Cleveland Public Theatre presents the U.S.A. premiere of REQUIEM <https://www.cptonline.org/performances/seasons/2023-2024/requiem/> By Hanoch Levin Directed by Raymond Bobgan Featuring Peter Lawson Jones* (*Actor appears courtesy of Actors' Equity Association, the Union of Professional Actors and Stage Managers in the United States.) March 14 through April 6, 2024 Written by one of Israel's most beloved playwrights after a terminal diagnosis, Requiem dares to tackle the big questions of "life and death" with poetry, frankness, and a lot of humor. One old man embarks on a series of journeys to ward off death failing to see the life all around him amidst the colorful characters he encounters along the way-an old medic, two drunks, three cherubs, and two prostitutes who dream of moving to Paris. This ground-breaking United States premiere production resets the play in an American landscape and stars Cleveland's renown actor and activist Peter Lawson Jones<https://www.peterlawsonjones.com/>* in the central role. Ensemble: Hosea Billingsley, Katie Boissoneault, Julia Boudiab, Peter Lawson Jones*, Brooke Lynlee, Colleen McCaughey, Nnamdi Okpala, Corin B. Self, Kat Shy, Yuval Tal, Venetia Whatley, Eric Wloszek.
