NOISES OFF

by Michael Frayn


One of the most inspired farces ever written presents a manic menagerie of itinerant actors rehearsing a flop. Out-of-control egos, memory loss and passionate affairs turn every performance into a high-risk adventure.

TWELFTH NIGHT

by William Shakespeare


A shipwreck separates twins, but tragedy quickly turns to comedy when they wash up in a land turned upside-down by love.  With raucous antics, ravishing language and rich characters, Shakespeare creates a bittersweet tale of laughter and longing, jealousy and triumph, not to mention mistaken identity, cross-dressing, fights, duels, and three marriages!

She must choose between the Hasidic shopkeeper whom she desires and the Caribbean stranger who is the acceptable choice.
