Magic
Written by G.K. Chesterton
Directed by Wes Driver
Magic is a funny, fiercely dramatic, unabashedly romantic play that has, like its author, been unfairly neglected over the past fifty years. This past January, a professional theater in Washington D.C. mounted a production of it that was so popular they extended the run. Before that, however, the play had not been performed in the U.S. for decades. It deserves a much wider audience.
2010/2011 Season
Arcadia
Written by Tom Stoppard
Directed by Ted Swindley
Tom Stoppard is arguably the world’s greatest living playwright, winner of an Academy Award and four Tonys. And Arcadia is almost universally recognized as his masterpiece. A rapturous and intellectually vigorous play about nothing less than the nature of truth and time and the difference between the scientific and poetic mind, Arcadia moves back and forth between two time periods (1809 and 1995) and two fascinating sets of characters sharing the same country house. It’s a clever mystery, a lovely romance, and a delicate waltz of grand ideas.
2010/2011 Season
Twilight of the Gods
Written by Wes Driver and Greg Greene
Directed by Wes Driver
Mark Twain. H.G. Wells. Annie Oakley. Friedrich Nietzsche. These are just a few of the historical figures that convene, converse, and finally, fatally collide in this new comedic thriller by Wes Driver and Greg Greene, where a dream for a modern utopia turns into a Gothic nightmare, and a battle of ideologies becomes a battle for survival.
