follows a group of artsists and political activists struggling to preserve themselves in 1930s Berlin as the Weimar Republic surrenders to the seduction of fascism. Often exquisitely tyrical, always exhilaratingly intelligent, the poetic world of the play moves beyond the bounds of historical reality with the morally outraged outpourings of a contemporary New York woman.

Composer Jeanine Tesori

Louisiana, 1963: A nation reeling from the burgeoning Civil Rights Movement and the Kennedy assassination. Caroline, a black maid, and Noah, the son of the Jewish family she works for, struggle to find an identity for their friendship. Through their intimate story, this beautiful new musical portrays the changing rhythms of a nation. Tony Kushner and composer Jeanine Tesori have created a story that addresses contemporary questions of culture, community, race and class through the lens and musical pulse of the 1960s.

about our floundering attempts to connect with other people and cultures, and the kaleidoscopic and contradictory images confounding our attempts not only to explore such connections, but also to exploreourselves. Home Body/ Kabul is the first extended monologue Tony Kushner has written in a body of work that has famously blasted contemporary American drama from the obsessively personal to the inescapably political. The play touches on topics close to Kushner's heart, following the tangential thought processes of a woman who is fascinated by Afghanistan, and her encounter with an Afghan man whose severed fingers provide an agonised testimony to fundamentalism'scruelty. Her narrative constantly shifts and changes direction, throwing its random spotlight on to episodes in Afghan history, on to elliptic observations about her own life, and on to the audience. The force of its beam suddenly exposes uncomfortablequestions in our lives, showing up the liberal conscience in all its flawed dignity, and refusing to abnegate the complexity of political responsibility by giving any answers. "I have a friend, " she confides, "who says. . . `Might do.' `I'm off to thecinema; care to come?' `Might do.' `I am leaving my husband and children, how about leaving yours?' `Might do.'" The audience smiles at this cosy satire, and then - wham - the finger is pointing at us. "We all romp about, I think, observing, pitying,grieving, wondering, but with rare exceptions we mostly remain suspended in the Rhetorical Colloidal For Ever that agglutinates between Might and Do."

Original Playwright - Bertolt Brecht, translated by Tony Kushner, original music by Jeanine Tesori

Mother Courage, one of the most astonishing stage creations of the twentieth century, drags her cart across the battlefields, profiteering from a war that destroys her children, one by one. It isn't easy, starting a war, but nothing worthwhile is easy. And once you're in, you're hooked like a gambler, you can't afford to walk away from the crapshoot once you're deep into it.

a fantastical / political / historical exploration of life in the Soviet Union in the earliest dawn of Perestroika. In scenes ranging from the inner chambers of the Politburo to a secret chamber beneath Lenin's Tomb to a medical facility near a radioactive disposal site in Siberia, Slavs! considers the difficulty, the failure and the abiding importance of Socialism and of ongoing efforts towards building collective societies and a more just world.
