The cast and creative team has been announced for the West Coast premiere of Martin McDonagh's HANGMEN at San Jose Stage Co.

James Ijames's Pulitzer-winning comedy Fat Ham is less an adaptation or reimagining of Hamlet, and more a play ABOUT Hamlet, a response to Hamlet. The characters are all too aware of how their stories and behaviors are mirroring characters from Shakespeare's tragedy: they quote it, riff on it, confirm or refute its influence on them.

Grand Theft Hamlet, a new documentary following out-of-work actors who staged a production of Hamelt inside a video game follows Sam Crane and Mark Oosterveen. During the U.K.'s third COVID-19 lockdown three years ago, they staged an entire production of Shakespeare’s Hamlet inside Grand Theft Auto 5.

Rosencrantz & Guildenstern are Dead is the hilariously absurdist play written by Tom Stoppard, directed by Jeremy Webb, that shines the spotlight on two minor characters from Shakespeare's Hamlet. The star-studded casting for the title duo could not be a more perfect match - from the Academy Award winning trilogy The Lord of the Rings, Dominic Monaghan and Billy Boyd.

The train is pulling into the station as PlayMakers Repertory Company opens its production of Agatha Christie's Murder on the Orient Express adapted for the stage by Ken Ludwig. Check out a photo from the production here!

When it’s over, a good show should leave the audience thinking about more than “where did I park my car?”.  Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead definitely fits this bill.

See first look new production photos and the trailer for the new production of Shakespeare's Macbeth at Leeds Playhouse.

DREAMING OF LEAR is a brilliant, memorable piece of leading-edge experimental theater. Its director, Lucy Cashion, has, I think, the most refreshing brain in the St. Louis theater world.  It’s been a decade since she appeared on my horizon, and in that time she’s led a number of exciting productions.  She joined the SLU faculty and has recently become Director of the school’s Theatre & Dance Program—a position which is virtually (and was perhaps literally) “made for her”. 

Starring from the Oscar-winning The Lord of the Rings trilogy, the title roles of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Billy Boyd (Pippin) and Dominic Monaghan (Merry) in this unique new production created by Halifax’s Neptune Theatre.

The historical Coriolanus, if he existed at all, was Rome’s most fearsome fighter, trained as a child, excelling as a warrior-leader and able to conquer whole other cities sometimes single-handedly. Even so, James Finley, who portrays the title character in Shakespeare’s tragedy in an eye-opening co-production by the Avant Bard Theatre with Longacre Lea, may be working even harder.

Cinnabar Theater will take their performances on the road to SSU and the Petaluma SRJC campus for the 2024/25 season.
