On October 15th and 16th, Readers Theater Repertory explored power and position in a month themed Master, Beast featuring The Final Interrogation of Ceausescu’s Dog, by Warren Leight, and The Author’s Voice, by Richard Greenberg.

Directed by Mary McDonald-Lewis, both stories used comedy noir to examine how power is used and abused. “Any time you have the powerful and the powerless, there is potential for shocking shifts,” said McDonald-Lewis, “because no one wants to stay powerless long. These two plays tell that tale, and tell it with absolutely jet black humor.”

The cast included Sam A. Mowry, Ina Strauss, and Kelsey Tyler
