Mercury Neptune Saturn VenusMercury
Synopsis:
Mercury is the third in a series of eight ecologically-inspired Planet plays. Set at the birth of the American hat-making boom and told through the eyes of unemployed 26-year-olds across four centuries,Mercury explores how the actions we take in the name of growth can have devastating effects on the world to come. Previous plays in the series, Uranus and Neptune, examined waste and climate change, respectively. In 1780s Danbury, Connecticut, a young entrepreneur named Zoe Benedict is building hats. Having stumbled upon a process by which to make felt, Zoe builds fifteen a day. Business booms, Danbury becomes the 'Hat City of the World', and Zoe finds himself surrounded by new friends. there's the woman living on his roof, waiting for the television to teach her how to fly; the ex-salesman moonlighting in drag; the hermetic bicyclist and his covert river missions; and the plastic man from the future. And then there's the notorious Hole in the Sky, and the mysterious message Zoe has been commissioned to deliver through it. Increasingly plagued by uncertainty and illusion, Zoe and friends spiral helplessly into a strange universe as the poison embeds itself deeper and reality disappears. Loosely inspired by Lewis Carroll's Alice stories,Mercury is a dark and wild romp of tea parties, tap dancing and toxicity.

Top of PageNeptune
Synopsis:
Neptune is a collaged fairy tale about how we adapt to a changing world. While the Whale (portrayed by a singer at a piano) tells her story entirely through song, the Boy's tale unfolds through simple storytelling and bold physical theater. A playful, dark adaptation of H. C. Andersen's "the Little Mermaid," Neptune explores the nature of sacrifice, the meaning of self, and the question of water. Neptune is the second play written for the Planet Play series, an eight-play cycle conceived and written by Jeremy Pickard that uses planet mythology as a departure point for examining the relationship between people and their environment.

Top of PageSaturn
Synopsis:
Jack and Rhea have inherited a farm. 30-years-old and recently married, they move from the city to start anew. All is harmonious at first, until a mountain of books and a handful of magic seeds shake the stability of their natural kingdom, and what was once elementary suddenly turns wild and unpredictable. What should we eat? Where should it come from? What is natural? Such questions besiege many of us multiple times a day. Riffing on the myth of Kronos, Jack and the Beanstalk, contemporary agricultural science and the alimentary experiences of couples around the age of 30, Saturn presents a unique theatrical take on these particular cunundrums of food, and how they affect our relationships.
