Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol

Revolt is afoot at Manor Farm, when downtrodden beasts of burden rise-up against the cruel Farmer Jones, who cracks his whip for the last time. But self-ruled animal utopia quickly gives way to the temptations of power and privilege in Peter Hall’s fast-moving musical adaptation of George Orwell’s savage satire.

Animal Farm

Primal storytelling and modern sensibility collide in a sensual re-envisioning of Greek myths, as gods and mortals alike endure love, loss, and transformation—all while immersed in a pool of water on stage. Swirling with passion, Tony Award® winner Mary Zimmerman (author of ANW’s award-winning Argonautika) creates this masterpiece that mesmerizes with tales of Midas, Orpheus, Aphrodite, and more in a whimsical and heartbreaking meditation on the joys and perils of being human.

Charles Dickens’ A CHRISTMAS CAROL

This evocative award-winning musical celebrates the redemptive power of theater, love, and friendship. Set in 1960s Dublin, an unassuming bus driver, Alfie Byrne, is determined to stage a production of Oscar Wilde’s Salome with his troupe of amateur players in their local parish. But this man of seemingly no importance is somehow forced into confrontations with religious objections to his artistic pursuits, and pushed into facing the stigma and shame over a love “that dare not speak its name,” on this hard-fought journey of self-discovery.
