Jacques de Vaucanson shall prove it, and thereby win the heart of Gabrielle du Chatelet, by constructing the first biologically accurate automata the world has ever seen - a clockwork duck, that flaps its wings, eats, and excretes ... just like a duck . A half-century later, the Reign of Terror in full swing, Lazarro Spallanzani labors to complete his one last experiment, if only his long-suffering housekeeper would stop distracting him ... | ||||

Synopsis: We all have instinctive fears -- but what if a fear becomes inexplicable, illogical, and just plain weird? Then you're dealing with a phobia, one of those most extreme and fascinating of terrors. Actors Theatre of Louisville asked 16 frighteningly creative playwrights to find inspiration in real phobias, and the resulting collection of pieces might prove that not only is fear humankind's oldest emotion, but it's also one of our silliest, most serious, and stage-worthy. | ||||

Synopsis: Set in a fantastical, miserable place called Brood, the play conjures up a world of dreamers, schemers, and would-be lovers. Tormented by the memory of a beautiful young woman he adored and lost and saddled with the bastard child she left behind, a village tinker-turned-poet tries to ease his pain by creating a theatrical tale, a story made up for the little boy as they sit in front of the fire. The tale involves a town full of delightful characters and an enchanting young saleswoman of casket bell devices for the prematurely buried. nytheatre.com | ||||
