On a spring evening in London in 1892, an unexpected guest arrives just after a performance at the Lyceum Theatre. Showman Buffalo Bill Cody has come to visit his old friend, the great actor, Henry Irving. With them is Irving's loyal, long-suffering manager, Bram Stoker, later famous as the author of Dracula. As the whisky flows, a genial conversation about show business among three friends gradually becomes a violent quarrel exposing dark secrets about the Royal Family, Jack the Ripper and the massacre at Wounded Knee. When the night is over, none of them will ever be the same again.

Meticulously researched by Kingston playwright and celebrated professor, Craig Walker, THESE DEEDS imagines the conversation Henry Irving, Buffalo Bill and Bram Stoker might have had after a performance at London's famed Lyceum Theatre.

You are in for a night of suspense, mystery, discovery, and vicious wit.
