“Philemon” at 4th Wall Theatre

“Philemon”
Music & Lyrics by Harvey Schmidt & Tom Jones

This chamber musical set in the Roman city of Antioch traces the life of the clown Cockian. Having sunk to the depths of collaborating with the Romans he redeems himself (disguised as a Christian bishop from Egypt) by allowing himself to be martyred. A small cast and simple staging re-creates the concept of the mediaeval morality plays. Schmidt and Jones are the incredible team behind The Fantasticks, I Do! I Do! and 110 in the Shade.
