The Sexual Life of Savages
by Ian MacAllister-McDonald
directed by Amy Rummenie
Minneapolis Theatre Garage
November 22 - December 14, 2013

So... how many people have you slept with?

Hal discovers that his girlfriend is more experienced than he thought... and then he really screws things up. Swingers, posers, and sexual explorers collide in this hilariously raw and real portrait of our private lives. A brand new play from an emerging American playwright!

Schiller's Mary Stuart
by Peter Oswald
directed by John Heimbuch
Red Eye Theater
February 7 - March 1, 2014

Mary Queen of Scots rots in jail, but rebellion is brewing. The exiled monarch, a threat to her cousin Queen Elizabeth, pins her hopes on a secret band of conspirators. Scheming politicians, a double agent, and an honest jailer play their parts, and soon the two powerful women will meet, each desperate to defend her country.

Peter Oswald's vibrant adaptation of Friedrich Schiller's Romantic masterpiece explores the price of freedom and the passion of defiance.

The Odyssey
adapted and performed by Charlie Bethel
Open Eye Theatre
March 21 - April 6, 2014

Shipwrecks, sirens, and sex goddesses meet cannibalism, death, and revenge. Acclaimed solo artist Charlie Bethel (Beowulf, Gilgamesh) re-imagines Homer's famous tale in a faithful yet accessible performance. Voyage across land and sea, through the underworld, and to the top of Mt. Olympus as Odysseus seeks his homeland and the arms of his loving wife. You're sure to recognize yourself in this sometimes comic, often harrowing, but always thrilling, epic adventure.

The Three Musketeers

by John Heimbuch, directed by Amy Rummenie
presented by the Guthrie Theater
May 9 - 25, 2014

D'Artagnan yearns to join the King's Musketeers. But will his sharp sword and quick wit let him survive Paris' treacherous labyrinth of gossip, slander, intrigue, and duels? When a favor for the Queen's handmaiden brings d'Artagnan afoul of the powerful Cardinal Richelieu, the daring youth befriends three Musketeers: Aramis, Porthos, and Athos. Together, they fight to defend the Queen's honor and save the lady d'Artagnan loves -- but an intriguing woman known as "Milady" has other plans for him. This crisp new adaptation of Alexandre Dumas' popular romance is a fast-paced, swashbuckling adventure for the stage.
