Blood Wedding

Synopsis:
The play richly blends poetry and drama with an almost primitive ritualism. The forces of nature, the moon and death, hover over and interact with the characters of this passionate love triangle, which ends with a beautiful stage full of weeping women.

Curious Lives Of Shakespeare And Cervantes, The

Synopsis:
a witty and energetic romp through the lives of two of history's greatest writers, who died on the same date, and achieved great fame, lasting through the centuries. We rake through their dirty laundry, failed marriages, brawls and successes, as they recite pieces from their own works and bring alive incidents from their personal stories through dance and song, comedy and Drama, with the occasional piece of slapstick.

Prodigal Daughter, The

Synopsis:
An American general crosses the path of a Korean family, and shameful skeletons tumble out of the closet. This play unflinchingly explores darker themes of war, alienation and sex. Many aspects of the play are particularly relevant to North Korea's bewildering status as an "Axis of Evil".
