Synopsis: A man, ostracized by society and at the end of his rope with humanity has made the decision to kill himself. The revolver lies on the table in front of him, as he accidentally drifts into sleep and dreams a dream that will change him forever. This courageous, philosophical story by Dostoevsky examines the societal and political implications of faith, science, and human nature. Is the true nature of man good? What responsibility do we have as citizens of the world? What is religious faith and what is its potential to create or destroy human existence?" Press Release | ||||

Synopsis: Things have changed since Henry last visited Mom. For starters, the décor is decidedly kitschier, and his sister Catherine decidedly creepier. And Mom has a new husband. And shes locked herself upstairs. In Freemans absurdist comedy, adults remain children and go to extremes to stay that way. A family reunion never felt so much like a hostage crisis--or maybe its the other way around. Matthew Freeman | ||||

Synopsis: Blue Coyote Theater Group presents a program of nine new short plays that collectively the notions of decency and obscenity. The playwrights were asked to write a piece that includes at least one of these elements--nudity, blasphemy, and violence--in a manner that is fully warranted and justified (that is, that avoids mere gratuitousness or sensationalism), while also intended to offend conventional standards of decency. Blue Coyote says that it seeks to spark a discussion about the uses and abuses of transgressive performance onstage with this presentation. nytheatre.com | ||||
