General of Hot Desire
By Jon Guare
Directed by Kristin Kelly
General of Hot Desire
written by John Guare is a
one act play inspired by
Shakespeare's Sonnet 153 and
154. Nine young people take
on the task of interpreting
the sonnet and making a play
from it. Each character has
a different point of view of
what the right answer is.
But their goals do not end
at solving the sonnets but
finding the deeper meaning
of love and God. Enjoy a
play that travels through
stories from the Bible,
Torah, Qur'an, and modern
times where everyone is
going in different
directions but searching
inherently for the same
thing.
