The Metromaniacs
by David Ives
adapted from Alexis Piron
directed by Ward Kay
Mistaken identity, misplaced ardor, and a fight for true love illuminate this adaptation of Piron’s classic 1738 French farce, originally commissioned for DC's Washington Shakespeare Theatre. A cornucopia of scheming servants, pseudonyms, disguises, and lots and lots of laughs!
“…almost criminally enjoyable…David Ives, the master adapter and cutup artist…is plainly turned on by Piron’s frisky, competitive wordplay and high-octane mixups… The language is golden…”
— Washington Post

The Birthday Party
by Harold Pinter
directed by Seth Ghitelman
In the setting of a rundown seaside boarding house, a little birthday party is turned into a nightmare when two sinister strangers arrive unexpectedly. This dark "comedy of menace" sings a fascinating off-beat tune: iconic playwright Harold Pinter chooses his words like a jazz musician chooses their notes in one of his most frequently produced plays.
