Oleanna
DAVID MAMET
|
A taut psychological thriller that spirals from a reasoned
intellectual sparring match into the primal emotions and darker
recesses of human interaction. Oleanna's twists and turns
lead to no absolute truth — are we witnessing sexual
harassment or political correctness gone mad? You decide.

Sweetspot Theatre Company presents:
On the Verge
ERIC OVERMYER
|
  Three
Victorian female explorers traverse time, space, feminism
and fashion in intrepid style as they trek through the undiscovered
realm of terra incognita. After the dark success of Fastest
Clock in the Universe, Sweetspot (NVT's resident professional
company) return with a winsomely witty, absurd and entertaining
show of strength…
|
|
"On the Verge is a surreal,
pythonesque trip into the geography of yearning."

The House of Bernada Alba
FEDERICO GARCIA LORCA
|
 An
acknowledged modern classic, Bernarda Alba is the first major
European play with an all-female cast. The just-widowed Bernarda
enforces an eight-year mourning period on her daughters, which
brings her into direct and inevitable conflict with their
desperate need for love, freedom and life. The pitiless battle
between the matriarch and her children is transfixing in its
intensity. This new version of the play brilliantly captures
the too-often neglected terse colloquial comedy of the original,
as well as its overwhelming tragic power.
