This darkly comic tale
examines the nature of power and authority,
a land surveyor known simply as "K" arrives
at a remote, nameless village where a
mysterious and forboding castle looms.
Authorities in the castle refuse to admit
"K" until he encounters a mysterious figure
haunting the halls and corridors of an
endless maze. Inspired by Franz
Kafka's novel, The Castle, which
ends mid-sentence.
PERFORMANCE DATES: February 24, 25, March 2, 3, 9 and 10 at 8pm; February 26, March 4, and 11 at 2pm.*
This
epic poem recounts the history of same-sex
love, revealing a hidden side of Western
culture through the lives of its greatest
artists. Sappho, Michelangelo,
Shakespeare, Emily Dickenson, Oscar Wilde,
and many others are woven into this visceral
piece. Originally written over
fourteen years ago, The Mirror of Love
sprang from Moore's activist heart as a
reaction to Britain's anti-gay law, Clause
28.
PERFORMANCE DATES: March 30 and 31 at 8pm; April 1 at 2pm.*
Franny is a proud,
protective friend to the gay men of
Provincetown, Massachusetts as they fight
their battles against self-hatred and
ostracism. Haunted by the loss of his
first love, Franny vows never to let fear
and anger consume those who are treated
differently for who they are. It's
Franny's goal to ensure that there is a
place in the world where everyone who feels
they do not belong.
First published to wide acclaim in 1983, Franny was a book of gay heroism and camaraderie in the shadow of the burgeoning AIDS crisis. This production is a world premiere adaptation of the novel.
PERFORMANCE DATES: April 27, 28, May 4 and 5 at 8pm; April 29 and May 6 at 2pm.*
Inspired
in part by Goldman Sach's role in the
current Greek economic collapse, Bennett
Fisher's new play about four derivative
traders seeking to benefit from the Greek
financial meltdown. Their acts of
greed and deceit bring unforeseeable
consequences and an unexpected visitor
Hermes, god of commerce and thieves, the
physical manifestation of fraud, who goads
the group into bolder action through
slippery logic, tantalizing visions of
immense wealth, and the occasional punch in
the balls.
PERFORMANCE DATES: October 26, 27, November 2, 3, 9, 10, 16, 17 at 8pm; October 28, November 4, 11, 18 at 2pm.*
Season tickets will be mailed the third week of January. Season tickets purchased after this date will be mailed out three days after purchase.
