CURRENT PRODUCTIONS
The Trojan War, the defining legend of western literature, is stripped to its raw heart in Shakespeare's scathing satire on glory, chivalry and doomed love. Staged in traverse.

Pushkin's lyrical masterpiece is a gripping exposé of the seductive appeal of power and the terrible price that must be paid for it. Money, corruption, sex and blood thicken this sinuous and radical play, inspired by Shakespeare’s histories. Staged in traverse. Performed in Russian.

FUTURE PRODUCTIONS
Racine's sharp, modern analysis of the human psyche illustrates perfectly the old adage that ‘the heart is a treacherous place'. Subversive, surprising and ironic, Racine dismembers our self-deceptions with an implacable logic. Performed in French.
