Doctor's Visit, A

Synopsis:
Based on historical legend, this intriguing play takes place in King Richard the Lionhearted's tent during the CrUSAdes. Sultan Saladin, an adversary with whom Richard enjoys an unusually cordial relationship even as their armies clash, has sent his personal doctor, Moses Maimonides, to treat the malaria that is debilitating Richard. This recounting of the tale, one often used to illustrate the peaceful relationship between Islam and Jew, points to a sober lesson: the faith that nourishes and sustains us also drives us to war, and we have still not found a way to have one without the other.

Nastiest Drink In the World, The

Nastiest Drink In the World, The
In the kingdom of Baloneya, the law says that King Fredipus is always right - even when he's wrong! When his mistakes start to cause real harm, only a shy peasant girl named Samantha finds the courage to speak up and the ingenuity to set things right. How she does so gives the show its title, as she calls upon the audience to assist her in the hilarious creation of the Nastiest Drink in the World.
