Marcus was recently in Hamlet at Chesapeake Shakespeare Company, directed by renowned director Eleanor Holdridge. The show won high praise all around, with a reviewer from Broadway World declaring: "I loved Marcus Kyd's Claudius. Slickness is all. He manipulates, dissimulates, and improvises, never a hair out of place."
This summer Marcus directed Audrey Cefaly’s The Last Wide Open at the Adirondack Theatre Festival, starring fellow Taffety Punk company member and fabulous actor Kimberly Gilbert and the equally fabulous Robert Ariza.
Over the winter and spring, Marcus co-directed a devised adaptation of Macbeth, with Emma Jaster, for the Shakespeare Theatre’s Academy at GWU. At the same time he appeared in Incognito by Nick Payne, directed by Allison Arkell Stockman at Constellation Theatre Company in Washington, DC.
In the Fall of 2022, Marcus directed Lindsay Carpenter’s Our Black Death, for Taffety Punk Theatre Company. Featuring music by Garland of Hours, the brilliant cast of the show won rave reviews all around. The show also played to sold houses for all but two nights.
