KINGSTON, Jamaica — Jamaican-born Marcos James, best known for the pivotal guest star role of White Rat in Game of Thrones, as well as the series regular role of William French in Lifetime’s Keeping up with the Joneses, will return to the stage on June 4 as Minister Richard Allen—a leading role in the production The Fighting Quaker.
As part of the celebration of America’s 250th Anniversary, The Fighting Quaker, which will be staged at the El Portal Theatre in Los Angeles, takes a look at the story of unsung American hero Timothy Matlack. The story explores Matlack’s journey as he balances the task of hand-inscribing America’s Declaration of Independence with his faith as a Quaker.
Along this mission, Matlack (played by Christopher Hoffmann) comes across Minister Allen, with whom he forms a bond over the words contained in the Declaration and, in particular, the tenet that “All men are created equal.” In the story, Minister Allen, regarded as a great orator and public speaker, becomes a source of inspiration for Matlack, not only in admiration of the Declaration, but in challenging certain principles inherent to traditional Quaker Society.
