Absolute Ambiguity
A comedy that revolves around a philosophical debate on the tragic nature of truth; two characters who could perhaps both – or neither – (or not) be mad, and everything stage-managed by a small man with a pipe.
Drama: Oleanna
The structural symmetry and almost Aeschylean formality of David Mamet’s Oleanna is at powerful odds with the messiness of its themes. Mamet’s drama of the changing relationship between an American college professor and his female pupil explores the ultimate role of education, the collision of different sets of sexual politics and – most fundamentally – the pliability of language.
Drama: Twilight's Last Gleaming
Drawing on Shakespeare’s Macbeth, Mary Lee Costa has created a play she hopes will be both in-key with contemporary politics, and accessible to its audience. Most of the verse has been transposed into American-accented prose, excepting The Witches’ Sabbath, in which Costa hopes to retain the original text’s alienating atmosphere of mystery.
