World Premiere: Luther's Trumpet
by James Reston Jr.
September 22nd at Stone Hill Amphitheatre

Last year was the 500th anniversary of the famous 95 Theses of Martin Luther and was celebrated world-wide, but the real drama came in the few years after 1517 when the Vatican and the Holy Roman Empire came down on this rebellious monk with full force and sought to silence him, including by burning him at the stake. This epic conflict is the essence of "Luther's Trumpet". With formidable foes like the pope, Leo X, and the Holy Roman Emperor, King Charles V of Spain, Luther's Reformation hung in the balance. The outcome changed the world of religion forever.

This is the third play of James Reston, Jr. to be performed at the Stone Hill amphitheater, after "Galileo's Torch" in 2014 and "Sherman the Peacemaker" in 2015. The play features a strong cast of community actors, and is directed by Rick Davis, the dean of the performing arts at George Mason University. This program was made possible with a grant from the RAAC's Mitchell Arts Fund.
