Sinopse

Berenice is an academically rigorous, poetically sensitive and politically hard-hitting translation of Jean Racine's celebrated 17th century tragedy.
An adapted version of her text with movement was first staged in 2018 in a co-production between Theatre Forge and Exchange Theatre as part of Voila! Europe theatre festival under the title Becoming Berenice with original drum and bass music by Tomas Wolstenholme to sold-out audiences.
Unusually retaining the original French structure of rhyming 12-beat couplets, or Alexandrines, this modern English version seeks to highlight the Western colonial expansion in the Middle-East against which the story plays out, and of which we are arguably reaping the ever more violent repercussions.
This tale of one woman's emancipation in the face of star-crossed love is the first English translation of this European classic by a woman and a person of Middle-Eastern descent.

    Set against the backdrop of a small college town, the Heyst's familial tensions converge during the holiday weekend; not only is the family's livelihood at stake, but the debt collector has just come into town, the youngest daughter has returned from an institution unprompted, and there's even a question of fidelity to boot. However, against the simplicity of communal gatherings and the warmth of familial bonds, the worries that once seemed insurmountable begin to fade. And through the lens of Easter's promise of renewal, Strindberg suggests that life's burdens may be lighter than they appear, offering a glimpse of hope amidst the chaos of everyday existence.

    King of Scotland is an award-winning, dark comedy and a free adaptation of Gogol's A Diary of a Madman. 
    Long-term unemployed Tommy McMillan joins a government-funded retraining scheme, "Up the Ladder". Cited as a shining example of the government's employment policies and chosen for a media profile, Tommy is taken on by the Department of Upward Mobility. The department gets more than they bargained for; however, when they discover just how far up the ladder Tommy is expecting to go. 
    Featuring trouserless bankers, talking dogs, flying taxis, and a razor-sharp parody of the workings of politics, King of Scotland is an outrageous Fringe First-winning monologue.

    The Book of Hours - a new poetic...

    Rainer Maria Rilke, Brett Alan...

    Written at the turn of the twentieth century, The Book of Hours is one of the most significant works of modern German poetry. There has never been an English translation that preserved the tight poeticism and Christian mysticism of the original until now. In this long poem, the narrator-poet is a monk and icon painter desperately trying to see God in a way that his art can’t capture. Over three sections (The Book of Monkish Life, The Book of Pilgrimage, and The Book of Poverty & Death), Rilke takes the narrator on a journey from the pastoral lands of his monastery to the bustling and inhuman cities of the world on a quest to make sense of God's central mystery. A variety of images recur: building, trees (roots and fruits), ripening, ore, and what Rilke simply calls "the things". Through these motifs, the narrator seeks to understand God by exploring imagery that is the inverse of the usual Biblical symbols. What can we learn by thinking of God as darkness, as son, as poor neighbor, or as the rock that runs through the earth...? And, ultimately, what truly are poverty and death to the holy pilgrim?
