Commonweal Apprentice Company Production Opens Thursday

Death and the Ploughman
by Johannes Von Sazz,

The 2009-2010 apprentice class at the Commonweal will present its capstone project, Death and the Ploughman this month. The members of the apprentice class have been involved with all aspects of the Commonweal's 2009 season, and their faces will be familiar to Commonweal patrons. The apprentice production, in its second year, marks not only the opening of the theater season in Lansboro, but also a stimulating artistic exploration very worthy of the Commonweal stage.

Death and the Ploughman is an adaptation of a 15th century German story about a farmer who loses his young wife and starts to ask some hard questions about Life—with Death showing up to answer them.

Death and the Ploughman runs for two weeks from March 18 to March 28.
