May 9-19
What Happened While Hero Was Dead
by Meghan Brown
Hero updates Shakespeare in a farcical, feminist, and very sexy way. As you may recall, in ’s Much Ado About Nothing, Hero is said to have “died of shame” while Beatrice and Benedick worked to put things right. In this version, Hero decides to take some lessons in the art of love that put the hey! in hey, nonny, nonny.
We’re working with choreographer Sabrina Harding and her Bumblebee Aerial Studio to give you a high-flying overview of Hero’s hilarious voyage to enlightenment.
Note: This play features adult language and situations.
The Children
by Lucy Kirkwood
In The Children, Lucy Kirkwood’s award-winning play, a nuclear accident in the English countryside brings together a retired couple and their old friend. All three are scientists, but past relationships are on their minds as much as the current emergency. Kirkwood asks us to think about the price we may pay in the future for our actions in the present.
The Guardian calls it one the greatest new plays of the 21st century, and John Rausch will be directing the Helena premiere in September 2024.
After that, who knows? We’ll be planning more in the months ahead. If you’re interested planning, participating, or just being in the audience, join our mailing list.
