Miss Julie


by August Strindberg

auditorium

A lusty battle of the sexes is served up as only Strindberg could. Known for his vacillating tragic characters and his exploration of Naturalism, here his characters are driven by their intellectual and romantic desires, but constrained by the social customs that both comfort and constrict them. Will they break free?


 
 

Twelfth Night

The bard is at his comic best as he weaves a hilarious web of youthful romance, disguise, deception, and gender-bending surprises. Considered one of Shakespeare's greatest comedies, Twelfth Night explores how far we will go in the pursuit of love.

Another Part of the Forest

Lillian Hellman's gripping tale of the power- and money-hungry Hubbard Family is set in the post-Civil War South. Not only does she bring history to life, but she spins a web of driven characters who both touch your heart and horrify you. This is American storytelling at its very best!
