 Winner of the TheatreNetto Festival Prize in Tel Aviv
Curious Theatre Company1080 Acoma Street
Denver, CO 80204
Prior to its off-Broadway debut, Conviction will play a limited engagement in Denver. Directed by Jeremy Cole and Ami Dayan and featuring performances by Ami Dayan, Michael Shalhoub, Julie Rada and Robert Ham, Conviction is a true story of faith and forbidden love in the shadow of the Spanish Inquisition. In Franco's 1960s Madrid, an Israeli scholar is detained and questioned by a Spanish official for stealing a confidential Inquisition file. Together, the interrogator and the interrogated become drawn to the file's wrinkled yellow pages and unravel the ill-fated love affair between the converted Spainsh priest, Andres Gonzales (1456-1485) and his Jewish wife, Isabel.
Join Professor Shneer on Thursday, July 9 for a talk back on the play around issues of forbidden love and closeted identities. This performance is supported by the Program in Jewish Studies and Jewish Mosaic: The National Center for Sexual and Gender Diversity.
David Shneer will also participate in a panel on interfaith dialogue and the issues raised by the play on Saturday, July 11.
Conviction runs from June 25 through July 12. Tickets are available by calling The Curious Theatre at 303.623.0524 or on the web at www.curioustheatre.org. Additional information about this production is available at www.convictiononstage.com.
