Fri, Dec 28 – Avery Brooks, whose recent injury halted production of the Shakespeare Theatre’s production of Tamburlaine, has recovered sufficiently to rejoin the cast and the play will resume production on Saturday, December 29.Brooks plays the title character in the Christopher Marlowe play, which inaugurated the company’s new Harman Hall space.Brooks’ injury, the nature of which the company did not specify, stopped production because his understudy had recently left the cast to attend to a family emergency. The new understudy, Bill Christ, had not been on board long enough to learn the immense part.

Tamburlaine will continue through January 6. You may obtain tickets to see Tamburlaine, (or Edward II, with which it is running in rep) by visiting http://www.shakespearetheatre.org/ or calling 202.547.1122.
