JOHN

March 14, 2019 – April 7, 2019

JOHN March 14 – April 7, 2019 By Annie Baker Time Magazine – 10 Best Shows of 2015 Nominated for 6 Drama Desk Awards Nominated for 5 Lucille Lortel Awards At a weekend bed & breakfast, the shadow of infidelity hangs over a young couple struggling to rebuild their relationship – when the elderly owner shares her own memories, ghosts real and imagined arrive to haunt the living. Blending keen realism with the eerily supernatural, this quiet tale from a Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright is unafraid to seek beauty in one of the most startling places: the solitude of human experience.


“Annie Baker’s John is so good on so many levels that it casts a unique and brilliant light.” – The New Yorker “Baker does not merely tell a scary story. She shows them, piling up like ghosts of amputated limbs from the war wounded, and makes them riveting, unpredictable, altogether human theater.” – Newsday

M. BUTTERFLY January 24 – February 17, 2019 By David Henry Hwang 1988 Tony Award Winner – Best Play 1988 Drama Desk Award Winner – Outstanding New Play 1989 Pulitzer Prize Finalist When we build fantasies to hide the truth, what happens when it all comes tumbling down? Clever parallels to the famous opera Madame Butterfly abound in this fearless play about a French diplomat who falls for a Chinese opera star: the ideal, exotic woman in his mind, but in reality, a man with a secret mission. Rich with deeper themes, M. Butterfly confronts the perception of Eastern culture by the West and the persistent romanticism that clouds it.


“With M. Butterfly David Henry Hwang joins the first string of American playwrights. This is an audaciously imaginative play, big in conception and theme, and a satisfying instance of a talented writer hitting full stride.” —Variety “It will move you, it will thrill you, it may even surprise you. It is a play not to be missed, and it is a play once caught that will never be forgotten.” —NY Post
Note: this production features nudity.
