By David Ives Directed by Jeremy Skidmore Designed by HannaH J Crowell, Kathleen Geldard, Misha Kachman, Matt Nielson and Thom Weaver Featuring Helen Hayes Award Nominees Alexander Strain and Michael Tolaydo with Lawrence Redmond With Ethan Bowen, Brandon McCoy, Colleen Delany and Emma Jaster. A literate, suspenseful retelling of the story of the 1656 interrogation of philosopher Baruch De Spinoza, New Jerusalem examines the clash between religion and modernity, faith and philosophy—questions that human beings continue to grapple with. The Washington Post raved, “A gallery of intriguing characters, nonstop enlightened argument and even—hold the phone—a socko finish.”
