  Roaring With Moll Cutpurse

  Thief, accused assassin, gambler, carouser, and star of the stage. Mary Frith – better known to her adoring fans and infuriated sheriffs as Moll Cutpurse – was the toast of Elizabethan London. There was not a taboo she would not bust, and her raucous ways made her a celebrity whose exploits were so scandalous that she had not one but two contemporary plays written about her. Now Archive Theater Company brings her story to Austin’s newest stage with a staged and costumed reading of the new work by Kathleen Fletcher, directed by Trace Turner. – Richard Whittaker
