Born With Teeth
by LIZ DUFFY ADAMS
directed by ROB MELROSE
The Guthrie Theater, McGuire Proscenium Stage
An aging authoritarian ruler, a violent police state and a restless, polarized people seething with paranoia: It’s a dangerous time for poets. Two of them — the great Kit Marlowe and the up-and-comer William Shakespeare — meet in the back room of a pub to collaborate on a history play cycle, navigate the perils of art under a totalitarian regime and flirt like young men with everything to lose. One of them may well be the death of the other.

Twelfth Night
William Shakespeare
Dir. Tom Quaintance
Guthrie Theater, Minneapolis
When a shipwrecked Viola washes up on Illyria’s shores without her twin brother, she must adapt to her strange new surroundings on her own. For safety, she disguises herself as a man and quickly finds favor and employment with the lovesick Orsino, who pines for Olivia’s devotion. After a series of mishaps and plenty of mayhem, their love triangle becomes so entangled it brings all of Illyria along for the ride. When at last the truth is revealed, the Bard’s starry-eyed tale proves that the revelry of love is something worth fighting for.

by Sean O'Casey
Dir. Sean Holmes

Set amid the tumult of the Easter Rising, The Plough and the Stars is the story of ordinary lives ripped apart by the idealism of the time.The residents of a Dublin tenement shelter from the violence that sweeps through the city’s streets. A revolution that will shape the country’s future rages around them. What kind of Ireland awaits them?This is a dynamic re-imagining: loyal to the spirit of O’Casey’s play whilst unleashing contemporary resonances for a modern audience.
'[A] refreshed, high-energy restaging'

The Seagull
Anton Chekhov in a new adaptation by Simon Stephens
Dir. Sean Holmes
Lyric Hammersmith
Unrequited love. Creative jealousy. Guns. Vodka. And Art.
Chekhov’s celebrated masterpiece is given vibrant new life in this dynamic new version by Olivier-award winning playwright Simon Stephens directed by Sean Holmes and starring Lesley Sharp as Irina Arkadina.
Switching effortlessly between the ridiculous and the profound The Seagull forensically examines the transcendence and destructiveness of love. The burning need to create Art and how harshly that need can be crushed permeates throughout the play.
'One of the funniest Seagulls, but also one of the most heartbreaking.'
The Guardian ****
'Properly funny and properly gut-punching.'
What's On Stage *****
