Santa Fe Playhouse (SFP) presents Or, by Liz Duffy Adams, directed by Zoe Burke. OR,, is set against a background of a long, drawn-out war and a counter-culture of free love, cross-dressing, and pastoral lyricism; the 1660s look a lot like the 1960s in this neo-Restoration comedy about the life of Aphra Behn, poet, spy, and first professional female playwright. Starring Breshaun-Birene Joyner as Aphra Behn, Patrick Janssen as Charles II et al., and Chloe Carson as Nell Gwynne et al. Featuring scenic design by James W. Johnson, lighting design by Kolby Clarke, costume design by Lisa Reneé Jordan, sound design by Jorge Olivo, props design by Emily Rankin. The intimacy director and dialect coach is Adi Cabral. Rounding up the team is Allison Goetzman as stage manager. Or, plays in repertory with Born With Teeth, also written by Liz Duffy Adams, and directed by Antonio Miniño.

Born With Teeth, written by Liz Duffy Adams, and directed by Antonio Miniño, is set against the backdrop of an aging ruler, an oppressive police state, and a restless, polarized people seething with paranoia: it’s a dangerous time for poets. Two of them—the marvelous Kit Marlowe and up-and-comer Will Shakespeare—meet in the back room of a pub to collaborate on a history play cycle, navigate the perils of art under a totalitarian regime, and flirt like men with everything to lose. One of them may well be the death of the other. Starring David Stallings as Will Shakespeare and Marc Sinoway as Kit Marlowe.
