Alice in Bed

Susan Sontag
Alice in Bed is a raucous, joyful play based on the life and diaries of Alice James (1848-92), sharp witted sister to Henry and William James. In it we accompany Alice and her brilliant imagination on a captivating and ultimately transformative adventure through a wonderland populated by poets, dormice, a coupe of dancing sailors and Henry James himself. The play asks questions about the way in which we understand illness and health in modern society and the value of subjective experience in contemporary culture.

Parsifal, A

Synopsis:
inspired by Robert Wilson's 1991 staging of the Wagner opera. This description is from the press release: "In this poetic yet gritty deconstruction of the opera, Wagner's innocent knight is instead an Uzi-toting soldier wandering aimlessly through an anonymous landscape in search of arbitrary sex and violence."
