OBSERVER: Not Without Right


digging husband – when, to his chagrin, his Muse materialises and demands he share with the audience the ‘true’ story of his life.
“Why?” Will grumpily demands.
“Because they’re going to say they’re not yours,” she responds. “The only way to prove you write the plays is to reveal what it cost you to create them, and where the secrets of your life lie hidden in the scripts.”
What follows is a battle between author and inspiration as to what really did happen.
Will is performed by Los Angeles based, Will and Company Artistic Director, noted Shakespeare professor and director, Colin Cox, whilst the Muse is performed by Mexico City born actress Alessandra Mañón.
Created by the multi-award winning, [NAACP, GLAAD, Los Angeles Weekly, Ovation], nationally recognised (performances in all 50 states), Los Angeles-based, theatre ensemble Will and Company, Not Without Right opened in June as part of the Hollywood Fringe.
Following its successful run in Los Angeles, it transferred to the Avignon Off Festival, and subsequently to the Edinburgh Fringe.
