WHAT IS IT ABOUT?

Much Ado About Nothing
By William Shakespeare
Directed by Timothy Douglas
OCT 21 - NOV 29, 2009

Reluctant lovers Beatrice and Benedick conceal their attraction behind a "merry war" of wit in Shakespeare's romantic, clever comedy. The play's musical language resonates with Afro-Caribbean rhythm in this colorful production.

Orestes: A Tragic Romp
Translated/Adapted by Anne Washburn
From the play by Euripides
Directed by Aaron Posner
JAN 27 - MAR 7, 2010

The war is over, Agamemnon and Clytemnestra murdered, and Orestes and Electra await the judgment of the citizens and the gods. Euripides' gripping drama is deftly re-imagined by playwright Anne Washburn in this razor-sharp modern adaptation.

Co-produced with Two River Theater Company

Hamlet
By William Shakespeare
Directed by Joseph Haj
APR 21 - JUN 6, 2010

Haunted by his father's ghost, Prince Hamlet seeks truth--and revenge. In arguably the greatest play of the English language, Shakespeare paints an enigmatic portrait of a man grappling with life, love, and the specter of death.
