Title: Lord Byron’s Sardanapalus – FREE Watch Party

Description: ONE NIGHT ONLY! October 29 at 5:30pm, at the Coyote Twin Theater, a recorded livestream of New York’s Red Bull Theater performing Lord Byron’s play Sardanapalus. The first 20 audience members to arrive will receive a free small popcorn / drink combo. A discussion with Dr. Lisa Ann Robertson will follow in the Coyote Gallery.

All members of the public are invited to the watch party for FREE courtesy of the USD English Department and VCA.

Set in ancient Assyria in the 7th Century BCE, Sardanapalus tells the tragic tale of the fall of the last Assyrian king and his decadent reign: a story of love, betrayal, and self-discovery as told by the most notorious of the Romantic poets. Lord Byron’s (1788-1824) literary legacy and his reputation as “Mad, Bad, and Dangerous to Know” live on 200 years after his death.
