Timeless Stories, Timely Theater.
Each season, Red Bull Theater produces at least one fully realized production of a play by Shakespeare or one of his contemporaries. Please join us as we continue to create a new home for imaginative productions of great classic stories.
Last season's full production was John Webster's masterpiece, The Duchess of Malfi, which played an acclaimed extended Off Broadway run. This season we will produce Dekker, Ford, and Rowley's amazing tragicomedy, The Witch of Edmonton.
Plays under consideration for the future include: ‘Tis Pity She’s a Whore, Timon of Athens, A New Way to Pay Old Debts, Volpone, Macbeth, Woman Killed with Kindness, and Titus Andronicus.

Developing the Classics of the Future.
This laboratory series provides an artistic bridge between Revelation Readings and Full Productions, providing full-fledged workshops for new projects under development. Each In The Raw workshop includes public presentations of the work-in-process, sharing the project's development with our audience as we work to create classics for the future.
Last season's In the Raw project was Septimus and Clarissa, a version of Virginia Woolf's Mrs Dalloway by Ellen McLaughlin. This year's will be announced shortly.
