The Illusion


The Illusion
by Pierre Corneille
Freely adapted by Tony Kushner


November 9,10,16,17 @ 8PM
November 18 @ 2PM


When a rigid father engages a magician to find his estranged son what ensues is a theatrical game, part farce and part romance. Is reality an illusion or simple matter of perception? Obsession, murder, passion, and love mingle with fantasy and transcendence of time and place in this version of L'Illusion Comique.

4.48 Psychosis
by Sarah Kane

More a shared experience than a play, Sarah Kane's perfomance piece is the deeply disturbing personal exposition of one woman's mental illness and disordered reality, and her struggle to live through it. Not recommended for persons under 17.
