THIRST
BY EUGENE O'NEILL
Directed by Dominic Mercer
Designed by Katren Wood
Three characters: a gentleman, a sailor and a dancer. What would happen if this unusual combination of humans was stuck on a small boat in the middle of the ocean with no food or water? The result is a ferocious exploration of the fragility of the human mind, the triviality of social etiquette and the active discrimination that surfaces when resources become scarce.
HOWL
ADAPTED FROM HOWL BY ALLEN GINSBERG*
Directed by Daniel Lammin
Designed by Ruth Arnold
Howl is an explosion of words and ideas on masculinity, social injustice and the voice of a young man struggling to find his place in the world.
'It is a howl of defeat. Not defeat at all for he has gone through defeat as if it were an ordinary experience, a trivial experience. Everyone in this life is defeated but a man, if he be a man, is not defeated...
...Hold back the edges of your skirts, Ladies, we are going through hell.'
William Carlos Williams, in his introduction to
Howl and Other Poems, 1956
*HOWL FROM COLLECTED POEMS 1947-1997
