Roger will star with Christian Camargo, Veanne Cox and Gareth Saxe in a staged reading of Kevin Christopher Snipes' Small Gods.

Roger Rees will play the dying British actor William Charles Macready. Christian Camargo will play Macready's younger counterpart Charlie. Gareth Saxe will take on the role of Edwin Forrest, his American rival. Veanne Cox, will play Death.

The reading is free and will be followed by a brief talk-back with the playwright. The Paradise Factory is located on the 4th Floor of 64 East 4th Street, New York City. To RSVP for the event, please contact the Public by email at intern-ap2@publictheater.org.
