Free-spirited Lettice Douffet, a lover of history and theatre and a sworn enemy of all in life that is "mere," loses her tour-guide job because she embellishes the official history of a dull estate home with outlandish Elizabethan fantasies. Lotte Schoen is the gray personnel bureaucrat who sacks her, worshipping fact as much as Lettice reveres romantic fancy. But these two ladies manage to find common ground in hilarious, outlandish and charming fashion! A Tony Award Winning Play!
A group of friends gather to celebrate the homecoming of two of their group, who went overseas after an unfortunate fire wiped out their home and possessions. When the pair arrive, however, their friends learn the truth: they never left to go overseas. Instead, they relocated to the Hyatt hotel, discovered themselves and underwent a spiritual epiphany. Rapture, by the author of Female of the Species is a thoughtful and entertaining play about what happens when cynicism is confronted by faith. A Canadian Premier!
Moliere's classic farce pokes fun at Argan, a man so obsessed by his own imaginary ailments that he can no longer control his haphazard household or the mercenary medics he employs. This hilarious and modern adaptation of The Hypochondriac premiered in 2005 at the Almeida Theatre, London. A Canadian Premier!
