Pride@Prejudice

Jane Austen’s classic romance as you know and love it, but with bonus material – bloggers, commentators, scholars, even Jane Austen herself. With five actors playing over 30 roles, Kramer’s deconstruction of one of the world’s most popular love stories not only delivers all the delightful romantic twists and turns of the novel’s plot, it also looks at our love affair with reading and, in particular, with this extraordinary book.

 

Crime and Punishment

In this thrilling new look at one of the most famous murder mysteries ever written, Raskolnikov re-enacts the events that drove him to a horrible crime and then to his search for redemption.  This award‑winning adaptation is simultaneously an electrifying journey into the mind of a killer, a cat-and-mouse detective story, and a tale of overpowering love for a fallen woman.

Adapted by Marilyn Campbell and Curt Columbus from the novel by Fyodor Dostoyevsky

 

Turn of the Screw

Henry James’ provocative tale of suspense, horror and repressed sexuality re-imagined by one of America’s most admired contemporary playwrights. A young governess has come to eerie Bly House to care for a pair of orphans. But she is not their first governess. Her predecessor drowned herself when her virtue was sullied by the sadistic valet who later died under mysterious circumstances. Their ghosts are now plaguing the children. But are they real or the product of her fevered imagination. This compelling psychological thriller redefines what it means to be haunted.

Wittenberg

October 1517, fall semester at the University of Wittenberg, and Hamlet is struggling with his faith (and his tennis game). He turns to two Wittenberg professors for guidance: John Faustus (philosophy) and Martin Luther (theology). The dazzling battle of wits that ensues is a thrilling testament to the never-ending tension between Reason and Faith. A clever, hip and ambitious comedy that will delight Tom Stoppard fans while providing the back story to Shakespeare’s Hamlet, Marlowe’s Dr. Faustus and, yes, even the Protestant Reformation.
