| Notes: | - | |||||
| Synopsis: | A lightning-paced political satire about the unraveling of a well-meaning liberal, caught in the maelstrom of his own good intentions. Tracing the fast rise and even faster downfall of college professor Arthur Kellogg, the play follows the publication of his first book, a scathing satire of the religious right. When the novel "accidentally" gets published as non-fiction, it spins out of his control and is embraced as a manifesto by the far right and militia groups -- turning Arthur into the poster boy for all he once sought to fight. Before Arthur has a chance to fix the book's misrepresentation, he winds up interviewed by Sixty Minutes, abandoned by his wife, and ultimately blackmailed into giving the keynote speech at the Republican National Convention, live, with unanticipated results. . . | |||||

| Synopsis: | The unconventional "expose" of the courtesan, actress, and eventual Byzantine Empress alternately painted by history as a despot, a romantic heroine, a revolutionary and a nymphomaniac. Loosely tracking the events of her life, Theodora faces her historians across the ages-- characters named 1090, 1590, 1890 and a woman named 1990, filming her documentary. Using music, movement, and multi-media effects (though produced successfully without them), THEODORA is a thought-provoking and exuberantly funny exploration of the essential nature of history, biography, and whether you can ever know a woman completely. | |||||
