TOOTH & TAIL is a fantastic swashbuckler that explores the dynamics of female friendship. When Princess Plumeria is kidnapped, Vixen LaFey and her dragon Flicker are determined to rescue her – and bring her home for the reward money. But along the way, they must face pirates, a witch who won’t stop rhyming, curses, and monsters of all kinds. From the dazzling dangers of the forests, to the deep rivalry between Vixen and Pirate Captain Jessica Glass, TOOTH & TAIL is a heartwarming theatrical feast that speaks to the imagination in all of us.

To open our final season, First Folio brings back our very first adventure of Bertie and Jeeves from 2008. The pleasure-seeking and marriage-averse Bertie is desperately trying to avoid his dragon-lady Aunt Agatha or “she who chews broken bottles; she who kills rats with her teeth.” In tow with Bertie’s aunt is Gertrude Winkleswoth-Bode, the society special Agatha has chosen to tame her wayward nephew. However, when Bertie’s impecunious pal, Eustace Bassington-Bassington becomes smitten with Gertie, Jeeves sees a pathway to avoid disaster…providing they can also avoid a battle-ax Scottish uncle, Sir Rupert Watlington-Pipps. Filled with all of the sly word play and manic antics you’ve come to expect, this is the pitch-perfect Jeeves story we all need to escape the doldrums of our own lives.

On her wedding day, Eurydice falls to her death and awakens in the strange, surreal underworld, where she is reunited with the father she lost long ago. As memories of her life begin to fade, she is torn between two loves—the devoted husband fighting to bring her back, and the father who offers comfort in death. In Sarah Ruhl’s haunting reimagining of the Orpheus myth, love, loss, and memory intertwine in a devastating choice that will echo for eternity.
