William Blake Sings the Blues
by Keith Phillips

The Actors Theatre of San Francisco presents the world premiere of "William Blake Sings The Blues" written by Keith Phillips. Amid the beauty and splendor of the Ivy League an ambitious young professor confronts his brutal destiny and the capriciousness of fate. Two academics, good friends from widely different backgrounds, have been thrust into competition with each other for the position of chairman of the English department of a small, liberal arts college. Sam in his mid fifties with ten years seniority over his much younger colleague comes from the rough, turbulent streets of the lower east side of New York city. Skylar on the other hand is the "golden boy" of the campus; prep school- ivy league educated with a moneyed New England pedigree. When Sam is passed over by the university in favor of Skylar, the academic mentorship that Sam had assumed takes a confrontational, brutal turn.
