Caesar wants absolute power. A group of men, led
by Cassius and Brutus, kill Caesar on the floor of the senate. Antony seeks
revenge for Caesar's death. Brutus and Cassius become hunted enemies of Rome. Caesar tells the story of Brutus - and
the consequences of his choices. Using Shakespeare's text and performed by
three actors in just over an hour, this fast paced and exciting adaptation is a
new take on an old story.

In 1610 it was recorded that John Guy, along with
a group of 39 settlers departed from Bristol, England, to make their way across
the Atlantic to the New World. Thirty days into the journey, as per a secret
naval custom, three ships meet in the middle of the harsh Atlantic to engage in
Feast of the Sword. What begins as a
simple exhibition of swordplay quickly devolves into a dangerous battle for
life and death. Laden with exhilarating stage combat, Feast of the Sword is an historical re-imagining of one man’s
journey to the New World.

On June 29th, 1613, the Globe Theatre
in London, England went up in flames during a performance of Henry VIII. A
theatrical cannon, set off during the performance, misfired, igniting the
wooden beams and thatching. According to one of the few surviving documents of
the event, no one was hurt except a man whose burning breeches were put out
with a bottle of ale. An interactive comedy for the entire family, The Tiring House will use the newly
built Indeavour as its stage.

Hermia loves Lysander and Helena loves Demetrius –
but Demetrius is supposed to be marrying Hermia. When the Duke of Cupids tries
to enforce the marriage, the lovers take refuge in the woods outside the
colony, and walk into the midst of a dispute between the King and Queen of the
fairies. So, too, does a group of amateur actors rehearsing a play. Between the
angry fairies, the bumbling players and the hopeless lovers, flies Puck armed
with a love juice capable of making anyone fall for the first person they set
eyes upon – no matter how unsuitable. Set within the forests of the Northern
Avalon and starring Andy Jones, this magical family favorite promises to
delight and inspire children and adults of all ages.
