Regine the Thirteenth governs her nation as a shining example of despotic panache: velvet glove, iron fist, designer shoes. A woman who understands the power of a well-placed ruffle, her every flounce is commanded to hang just so. But when one of her subjects selflessly offers to take the place of a death-row criminal, Regine discovers that life is not all tufted velvet and beaded chiffon. Furbelow is a comic fable about fame, friendship, and really good fabrics.

SPAKE
Presented by Northern Kentucky University as part of the Y.E.S. Festival of New Plays
April 19-28
Highland Heights

Directed by Michael King

Cast: Erin Ward as Jessica Sharith, Derek Evans as Nicholas Dolzhivliudkovic, Zak Schneider as Cal, Matt Krieg as Edward Ruloff, Hanna Firstenberger as Muriet Nolan, Victoria Hawley as Trina, Seth Wallen as Mark Galen, Victoria McDevitt as Ann Flynn, Anthony Newton as Priest & Alyssa Cousineau as Orderly

In a packed Siberian church on a snowy day, a priest is eulogizing a 109-year-old town leader when the roof caves in, killing everyone inside. Only one speaker of the Ujide language remains: Nicholas, who’s still at college. His ex-girlfriend Jessica also has languages on the brain: namely finding a wellspring language, an idea that intrigued late Ithaca serial killer Edward Rulloff. The collapse begins an amazing sequence of events involving the untranslated Voynich Manuscript, a spell, the return of Rulloff and Nicholas’ dead sister, and a reversal of the Tower of Babel. A few flakes of snow will change the world forever.
