Spring 2019
The Odyssey
Sing, O Muse, of the critically-acclaimed Pantaloons and their hilarious new verse adaptation of the most epic journey of all time… Stranded war hero Odysseus must struggle against the odds to get home to his wife; but can he battle his way through grumpy gods, naughty nymphs, monocular monsters and over a hundred sleazy suitors…?
Summer 2019
Sense and Sensibility
Elinor Dashwood has a lot of good Sense. Her sister Marianne Dashwood has an excess of Sensibility. Together they make a snappy title for Jane Austen’s classic novel of scandals, scoundrels and severely sprained ankles. This funny, fast-paced and faithful new adaptation features live music, audience interaction, romance and heartbreak.
Autumn 2019
Othello
It’s stormy outside. In here, tensions are simmering. As a touring swing band gather for their next performance, malevolent trickster Iago begins to sow the seeds of mistrust. Shakespeare’s tragedy of jealousy and deception is relocated to a jazz-age setting, with live music, intense drama, and more than a hint of our inimitable brand of theatrical mischief.
