Summary

In the heart of Dallas where the Trinity River's bank cradles warmth from morning fires, a tale unfurls - modest as a tale but grand as the hopes within. Amidst the grit of street living, an unexpected adventure beckons—a journey from hardship to the unfamiliar embrace of four solid walls and the companionship that sustains through trials. This is the story of unlikely friendships fostered over meals shared under open skies, of lives intersecting in pursuit of survival, work, education, love, and the pursuit of a sanctuary to call home. It is a story of transformation, not just of spaces with fresh paint and the determination of those willing to wield the brush, but of hearts and minds opened to possibilities once veiled by circumstance. Here within these pages lies an odyssey; an exploration of human resilience, the power of community and the silent orchestrations of the divine presenting gifts of second chances.
In this heartwarming tapestry of life, an individual's journey through the trials of work and higher education blooms into a testament of resilience and fellowship. Woven within are threads of compassion, where unlikely allies emerge to offer a lifeline in times of struggle, affirming the profound power of human connection. As we follow the protagonist’s path, graced by divine intervention and fortuitous encounters, we witness a celebration of spirit and help. This narrative is an ode to those who reach out a hand in support and to the beauty of embracing our shared humanity, as it underscores the transformative spirit of faith, kinship, and the enduring pursuit of knowledge.

    The sugar leapt up and twisted itself until it formed a castle with turrets as perky as meerkats... 
Griffin's rock band is about to have their big break. But when her lead guitarist and soon- to-be-ex-boyfriend throws a drug- and alcohol-induced El Screamo Thrasher Solo Temper Tantrum, he gets the band kicked out of the gig. She is devastated, and minus a lead guitarist. 
Enter the mysterious Rickenbacker, a restaurant manager with a tempting offer: if Griffin works in his restaurant making desserts, she can play in the house band, the Spurious Correlations, alongside Matteo: a super-talented lead guitarist. 
What Griffin doesn't know is Rickenbacker is a competitor in an Other Worldly Live Action Role Playing tournament. In order to win the championship, he has just two weeks to push her to the limit with dessert-making mayhem, enough to drive her to perform an unthinkable task, all without letting her suspect she's a pawn in his scheme. 
Griffin is yanked unwittingly into a frenzied fantastical world of music, magic and baking. She gets to make music with Matteo, the most perfect guy she has ever met, and she has never played with such a terrific band. It seems too good to be true! 
But making desserts for Rickenbacker is a nightmare. Is Matteo worth it? Well, he is awfully dreamy . . .

    A hotel in Singapore is opened at the turn of the century, when the island is still a jewel in the crown of the British Empire. Each day, new faces appear and swiftly disappear – guests and staff alike. 
 
Every ten years, we check in to meet the hotel’s residents: a Cantonese nanny, an Indian spiritualist, a Malay film star, Japanese soldiers, transgender sex workers, wedding guests, suspected terrorists, and more. They live out the pivotal moments in their personal lives, as empires die and new ones are born from their ashes. 
 
Even though the chambermaids clean up after them, readying the room for the next guests, traces of the past persist, and time reveals its cyclical nature. Ghosts communicate with the living, doubles are separated by decades, and a single moment of decision haunts the generations that come after. 
 
An immersive, multi-generational epic, HOTEL explores the notions of empire, nationhood, migration and identity against the backdrop of a shrinking world. Spanning a century and performed over close to five hours in nine languages, this ground-breaking theatrical event highlights the eclectic energies born from the collisions between the old and the new, East and West, tradition and modernity.
