Midnight Plays

Justine is a sexually graphic saga taken from the novel by the Marquis de Sade. Swellfoot’s Tears is a scatological XX century retelling of the myth of Oedipus. Dracula: Sabbat is a black mass in honor of the famous vampire. The Dybbuk is a mystical retelling of the classic Jewish folk myth.



The Greek Myths

A cycle of eleven episodes told in Story Theatre form--a narrator telling and life-sized puppets performing simultaneously--the play tells the story of Greek mythology from the first moments of Creation through its version of the story of the Flood, the reign of Zeus, and the trials, tribulations and joys during Zeus's long and continuing reign. It brings to life some of the most memorable episodes and characters in that saga: the Titans, the Cyclops, Zeus himself, Echo and Narcissus, Cupid and Psyche, Theseus, Orpheus and Euridice, and many, many more.
