AN ILIAD
Crafted around the stories of Achilles and Hector with language that is both poetic and conversational, An Iliad refreshes a world classic, thus creating a powerful piece of theater that explores the human compulsion toward violence.
MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING
A celebration of true love, friendship, and wit, Much Ado About Nothing features some of Shakespeare’s most satisfying language as it tells the story of two romantic pairings and accompanying comedy, trickery, and intrigue.
A WALK IN THE WOODS
Two superpower arms negotiators, a Russian and an American, meet informally in the pleasant woods on the outskirts of Geneva. As they continue their informal meetings as the seasons change, and through these conversations, develop a friendship that belies the antagonisms of the world order.
