January 2023

Lady Constance and her maid Lisette are locked away by a quack Doctor. Their lovers, a persistent Marquis and his servant, trick their way to love by pretending to use “animal magnetism,” the pseudo-science of mesmerism popularized by the real-life quack, Franz Anton Mesmer. This delightful farce, by an actress and one of the most popular playwrights of her day, satirizes the follies of fake medicine—and of the men who try to control smart, young women.

February 2023

A tale of forbidden love strong enough to bring down a kingdom, Phèdre’s overwhelming passion for her stepson is brought to vibrant life in this masterpiece of tension, pathos, and dramatic power.

March 2023

Off-Broadway Production | The first true-crime story. A tale of illicit passion and slaughter that rocked the Elizabethan world. Valentine’s Day, 1551. Alice and her ambitious lover Mosby plot to murder her husband, engaging a cluster of inept killers to do the deed. It’s Macbeth meets Double Indemnity meets Fargo, featuring one of the strongest and most mercurial female protagonists in early drama. And - did Shakespeare write it?

April 2023

Set in the seedy underworld of Elizabethan England, the story of the meteoric rise and fall of Kit Marlowe – playwright, poet, spy, and sexual outlaw – charts the ambitions of youth in a cold and unforgiving world. Performed by an all-women and non-binary company, we reexamine the play's explosive, urgent questions about art, love, depravity, redemption, and the cost of genius.

SPRING 2023

Off-Broadway Production presented in association with FIASCO THEATER | One of the first parodies of the English theater, this Elizabethan comedy is a joyful romp that celebrates our collective capacity to improvise and natural desire to be center stage. A play about the elopement of star-crossed lovers called The London Merchant is about to be performed when an unexpected interruption occurs. The actors adapt and invent a new story – an outrageous quest called The Knight of the Burning Pestle – which takes over the stage in hilariously disruptive ways.

April 2023

One of Shakespeare’s earliest and bloodiest plays explores the desperate nihilism of a world where an unstoppable cycle of revenge has begun. Titus is Rome’s greatest general and the head of a noble Roman family. When his armies vanquish the Goths, their defeated queen, Tamora – with her paramour Aaron the Moor – unleashes a fury that brings Rome, Titus, and his family to their knees. The play’s exploration of humanity’s capacity for inhumanity is shockingly contemporary.

May 2023

An ice-cold, high-octane adaptation of Euripides’ play written in Battle Rap verse, this brand new hip hop version of Medea sheds contemporary light on the classic tragedy This story reignites the sacred rage of our ancestors and explores the destruction that comes when a society suppresses and silences women.
