The Irondale Ensemble Project is as close as we come these days to the Elizabethan acting companies that once presented Shakespeare’s plays to the Earl of Leicester, Sir Francis Drake and the Virgin Queen of England.

Peter Kleinert (Berlin’s Schaubuhne Theatre) directs the Irondale ensemble in a production of Bertolt Brecht’s master-work Saint Joan of the Stockyards. Irondale will present this epic tale of romance between a meatpacking tycoon and a Salvation Army worker set amidst the milieu of money, high-rolling millionaires, and corporate greed for four weeks, beginning on May 22.

Two tickets to St. Joan of the Stockyards running May 22 through June 13, 2015. Showings Wednesday-Saturday @ 7:30pm; Saturday June 6 & June 13, 3pm.

Irondale Center, 85 South Oxford Street, Brooklyn, NY
