THE BALD SOPRANO
By Eugène Ionesco
Performances begin September 13, 2011

THE BALD SOPRANO introduces us to a bizarre and brilliant comic universe, where time is out of joint, language has misplaced its meaning, and identity itself is up for grabs. Ionesco’s first Absurdist tour de force, this play has been in continuous performance in Paris at the Théâtre de La Huchette since 1957, making it one of the world’s longest running plays. The Bald Soprano launched an international theatrical movement that turned traditional playwriting on its ear—in all the best ways.

RICHARD II
By William Shakespeare
Performances begin November 8, 2011

The first of Shakespeare’s four-work sequence on the dangerous and ever-shifting politics of the 14th and 15th century English Kings, RICHARD II follows the fall of the weak and unpredictable Richard and the rise of the ambitious Bolingbroke. Poised between the divine right to rule and the cult of personality; between a fading tradition and uncertain innovation; between one world-view and another, Richard II probes into a soul laid bare. When the thing you are born to be is stripped away—what do you become?

THE PHILANDERER
By Bernard Shaw
Performances begin January 10, 2012

Satirizing social ills and criticizing capitalist skullduggery, Shaw’s pert and playful THE PHILANDERER lampoons two causes near and dear to Shaw’s heart—free-thinking and feminism. The play follows a man—a “warts and all” self-portrait of Shaw himself—who can’t quite win one woman or break free of another. Written in 1893—and only Shaw’s second play—the novice playwright was already so far ahead of his audience that the play was  considered too shocking for production and not seen on the London stage until 1905.

A MOON FOR THE MISBEGOTTEN
By Eugene O’Neill
Performances begin March 6, 2012

A unique blend of comedy, tragedy, autobiography, and dramatic imagination, A MOON FOR THE MISBEGOTTEN was the last play Eugene O’Neill wrote. The story unfolds over a single moonlit night in which the self destructive James Tyrone and the passionate and lonely Josie Hogan manage, for a little while at least, to lose what stands between them. It is O’Neill’s most moving and profound work on redemption and the power of love.
