A Journal of the Plague Year
“Punishing yourself has nothing to do with taking responsibility.”
Mariko, the owner of the Trading Vessel Pago Pago cabaret, tries to manage the destructive effects of a widespread plague on her business. Around her, a woman mistakes a pile of bloodstained bandages for a chicken; a dentist diagnoses a patient with the Milky Way in the back of her mouth; and a man confined to a box employs a professional flyswatter to keep him company. As the unsettling origins of the cabaret are slowly revealed, the politics of war, disease and memory are undeniable. In translation from Japanese, this surreal and striking play is a North American premiere.
Something Rotten!
“When life gives you eggs, make an omelette.”
Something’s rotten in the state of England, where brothers Nick and Nigel Bottom run an unsuccessful theatre troupe. The pair are constantly outdone by the arrogant Shakespeare, who revels in his fame and fortune. Desperate to find some success of his own, Nick visits a soothsayer who suggests writing the world’s first musical. Side-splitting from start to finish, Something Rotten! is jam-packed with catchy songs and ridiculous antics!
