All Plays
A Doll's House
By Henrik Ibsen
In a version by Simon Stephens
Directed by
Nora’s world is sheltered beneath a shiny bell jar, with plenty of satin and little substance. And yet, there are hints of something darker just beneath her carefree veneer. It seems this little lark may have some skeletons in her nest, and those bones don’t rest easy. So what begins as a family drama quickly reveals itself to be a life-or-death thriller, exquisite in its portrayal of humanity’s more complex and messy bits, and offering no clear villains. Or escape routes. Nora’s story is one for the ages — shocking for its time, and offering a cliffhanger that still haunts our collective psyche after all these years.
Runs August 10 – October 6.

The Brothers Size
By Tarell Alvin McCraney
Directed by Gavin Lawrence
In the Louisiana bayou, Ogun Size is the hardworking and steady brother to the younger Oshoosi. Ogun worries constantly about his brother, who's fresh out of jail, restless and aimless. When Elegba, Oshoosi's old prison-mate arrives with a gift, their relationship is thrown out of balance. Influenced by the rich culture of the Yoruba people of West Africa, this contemporary tale begins in ritual and evolves into a tough and tender drama of what it means to brother and be brothered. Combining flights of poetry, music, and dance, The Brothers Size explores the tenuousness of freedom and the need to belong somewhere, to something, to someone.

Mother of the Maid
By Jane Anderson
Directed by Peter G. Andersen
What's a mother to do when her child tells her she's hearing voices? A difficult question under any circumstance, and infinitely more difficult when that child is a future saint. Isabelle and Jacques find themselves not only raising - and losing - a headstrong daughter, but one who will one day be known as Joan of Arc.
