An Error of the Moon Brings the Brothers Booth to Off-Broadway

Luigi Creatore’s new play An Error of the Moon will take the stage for an off-Broadway run at Theatre Row’s Beckett Theatre. Directed by Kim Weild, the production begins previews on August 13 in anticipation of an August 30 opening. The limited engagement plays through October 10.

Described as a riff on “jealous, madness and the Brothers Booth,” An Error of the Moon paints a fictional portrait of the brothers Edwin and John Wilkes Booth, the rock star actors of their day. Edwin tell his tale of a man consumed by jealousy, bitter sibling rivalry and the mad obsession that sparked the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. Creatore was most recently represented off-Broadway by the comedy Flamingo Court.

The show stars Margaret Copeland (off-Broadway’s My Fake IDs), Erik Heger (MTC’s Based on a Totally True Story), Andrew Veenstra (Pioneer Theatre Company’s Romeo and Juliet) and Brian Wallace (The Public’s The Good Negro).

Scenic design for An Error of the Moon is by Steven Capone, with costume design by Alixandra Englund, lighting design by Charles Foster and sound design by Christian Frederickson. Fight direction is by Rick Sordelet. The show is presented Off-Broadway by Theater 21 and CRC Productions.
