Set in Oxford, England in 1920, The Oxford Roof Climber’s Rebellion explores the real-life friendship between poet Robert Graves and T.E. Lawrence (Lawrence of Arabia). In the aftermath of World War I, both men face their personal demons and disillusionment of participation in a war that literally still haunts them. Robert retreats into himself and shuts down, while Ned lives an over-the-top dandified lifestyle. They combat the inertia of post-war life by playing mischievous pranks on university administrators. Eventually the pranks escalate into a climactic confrontation involving problems of social class and espionage. A Midwest Premiere!
