Written by Dale Wasserman The Bishop of fourteenth
century Prague is humane, witty and happily immoral,
which suits his city just fine. However, it displeases
the Pope who sends a clever young Inquisitor to force
obedience from the Bishop, triggering a collision that
ends shockingly. You’ll recognize the game as that old,
“Who’s Got The Power?” but you’ve never seen it played
for such amazing stakes.
“A gripping, brilliantly constructed
play by a master of drama.”
-- Hollywood
Reporter
“PLAYERS IN THE GAME boasts beautifully
etched characters, each role an actor's delight.”
-- Drama-Logue
“The clash between the Grand Inquisitor
and the corrupt but tolerant Bishop of Prague is a scene
made in theatre heaven -- a remarkable scene, a deadly
contest, the stuff of which classics are made.”
-- Los Angeles Herald-Examiner
“The voices in Dale Wasserman's
PLAYERS IN THE GAME are ostensibly 14th century, but
in actuality are disturbingly modern. What we have here
is a play for all seasons.”
-- Forth Worth Star-Telegram
