    Moments after the closing lines of Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night, the apparent “happy ending” starts to unravel. Viola, who has just experienced the privilege and freedom of life as a man, is now married to a man with very clear ideas on a woman’s place in life. Sebastian and Olivia have their own marital troubles, having known each other all of three hours, and Sebastian’s best friend Antonio has just been dragged off to prison. Meanwhile, Maria deals with Sir Toby's alcoholism and his paranoia – justified, considering that Malvolio has sworn to take revenge on the pranksters, and Sir Toby specifically. As these characters collide and fight for respect, love, and justice, Thirteenth Night reveals the dark laughter lurking behind the light of Shakespeare's play.
  • A Leaf on the Wind

  • The Controller (or a play about a marriage)
    15 Mar. 2024
    THE CONTROLLER is an amazingly fast-moving yet tender play. Bri has to navigate huge challenges in both of her worlds, from misogyny and hate mobs in video game golf to her illness and crumbling marriage in the real world, and we get to witness Bri grow in a wonderful and completely believable way. The achingly beautiful scenes between her and her husband are perfectly counterbalanced by the wildly entertaining revenge plot cooked up by her and Sakura. It's impossible to put down once you start reading it, and when you're done, you'll feel like you've known these characters for years.
