Hamlet

Oct 12 – Dec 1, 2013

Every generation feels the irresistible compulsion to attempt to stage this, the greatest play by the greatest playwright. Then, when we try, we’re haunted by the ghosts of past Hamlets: Olivier, Gielgud… Roxburgh. Every new production becomes a strange mirror of the play...

Angels in America Part One: Millennium Approaches

May 28 – Jul 14, 2013

Actually, Angels in America: A Gay Fantasia on National Themes is not one play but two. Millennium Approaches and Perestroika were the closing statements of last century – an epic double-comedy of love and hate, heaven and earth, past and future. Now, a generation after Tony...

Angels in America Part Two: Perestroika

May 29 – Jul 14, 2013
