A Gentleman's Guide
To Love And Murder
Book and Lyrics by Robert L. Freedman
Music and Lyrics by Steven Lutvak
A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder is the knock-'em-dead, uproarious hit and the most-nominated show of the 2014 season. With ten Tony nominations and four wins, including Best Musical, Book, Direction and Costumes, it also earned seven Drama Desk Awards (including Best Musical), four Outer Critics Circle Awards (including Best Musical) and one Drama League Award (Best Musical).
When the low-born Monty Navarro finds out that he's eighth in line for an earldom in the lofty D'Ysquith family, he figures his chances of outliving his predecessors are slight and sets off down a far more ghoulish path. Can he knock off his unsuspecting relatives without being caught and become the ninth Earl of Highhurst? And what of love? Because murder isn't the only thing on Monty's mind....
A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder is a murderous romp filled with unforgettable music, non-stop laughs and a scene-stealing role for one actor playing all eight of the doomed heirs who meet their ends in the most creative and side-splitting ways. Join Penguin for a show that will have you laughing more than you thought you could!
"This is a tale of revenge and retribution,
So if you're smart,
Before we start,
You'd best depart."
"Don't you just love me in Pink?"
"Monty, I do love you. And if I had not been so sure that you loved me, I should not have risked marrying Lionel.
-
I won't even try to make sense of that convoluted statement."

Upon the King
Written by William Shakespeare
Conceived & Adapted by Andrew Philpot
"Upon the king!
Let us our lives, our souls,
Our debts, our careful wives,
Our children and our sins lay on the king!"
"The crown achieved and so the king may rest! Yet how to find content?"
"For God's sake! Let us sit upon the ground and tell sad stories of the death of kings"
Get ready for an epic journey through history with Upon the King! Adapted from eight of Shakespeare's greatest history plays, this production weaves one continuous story of England’s crown as it passes from king to king—through acts both noble and treacherous. Spanning the Hundred Years’ War with France to the chaos of the War of the Roses, this play captures the triumphs, betrayals, and humanity behind the throne. Packed with the best action and thought-provoking moments, Andrew Philpot’s masterful adaptation crafts a deeply engaging experience. Making its Oregon debut, Upon the King explores the timeless and ever-relevant themes of leadership—the glory, the burden, and the sacrifices demanded of those who wear the crown.
Join Penguin under the stars for this epic we promise you have never seen the likes of before!
