A Midsummer Night’s Dream
SPECIAL WORKSHOP PRODUCTION FROM SHAKESPEARE’S GLOBE
By William Shakespeare
Restaged by Kevin Kittle and Barbara Marchant
“What fools these mortals be!” cries Puck, in Shakespeare's most popular—and most magical—comedy, which mixed the worlds of humans and fairies long before The Lord of the Rings. Everyone's favorite “don't go in the woods” play overflows with mistaken identities, love triangles and a group of very rude mechanicals indeed.

Fen*
by Caryl Churchill
Directed by Rutgers Emerging Artist David Ledoux
Caryl Churchill, one of England's most celebrated playwrights, evokes the disturbing and all-too-real lives of working-class men and women in East Anglia. Submerged yearnings and resentments rise ominously in a world of canals and peat farming. Violence lurks just beneath the surface—but for how long?

The Hostage*
by Brendan Behan
Directed by Sue Lawless
This bawdy political comedy by Irish rebel Brendan Behan is set in a house of ill-repute in the 1950's. The IRA has taken a soldier; the British Army will stop at nothing to get him back. In the midst of a political thriller, Behan gives us farce, a love story and harsh social satire all mixed together—in other words, a true portrait of Ireland.

by Rutgers Emerging Artist Lisa Huberman
