Anthology
Ranging from the full Oresteia with original music and lush choreography to Tom Stoppard's Arcadia, to a puppet haunted version of A Christmas Carol: the work bursts with symbolism, big thinking, and passionate honest acting. The goal of creating a visceral connection between playwright and audience starts by digging deeply into the text for meaning.
