EQUIVOCATION A new play about the night England’s infamous Gunpowder Plot was foiled. For hundreds of years, this event has been celebrated as Guy Fawkes Day, but it’s clear there is no way the night could have unfolded the way the Crown claimed. King James hires the world’s greatest playwright. Shakespeare and his winsome troupe struggle to dramatize the King’s absurd account without losing their integrity - or their heads.
Written by Bill Cain/Directed by David Esbjornson. November 10 – December 20 Geffen Playhouse. Ticketmaster (213)480-3232. |

SANTA MONICA
Santa Monica
Pier Centennial
www.santamonica.com
www.santamonicapier.com
Celebrating 100 years, the Santa Monica Pier has endured
time, nature, and politics in becoming world-renowned as a symbol of the
California lifestyle. Famous bodybuilders such as Jack LaLanne and Joe
Gold (of Gold’s Gym) worked out in the famous ‘muscle beach’ and helped
shape (pun intended) and establish the health and fitness boom for which
California is famous.
These and other facts, that time has forgotten, will be on
display and be part of the first museum to display historical
information on the art, culture, and history of Santa Monica at the
Santa Monica Historical Society Museum – opening late 2009.
Centennial Highlights:
