ANTIGONE: 3021 – Written by Nina Mansfield

It’s the year 3021, Thebes is reeling from a brutal civil war. Chancellor Creah’s decree is clear: anyone daring to bury the traitor Polyneices faces death. Yet, Antigone defies the law, boldly broadcasting her act on the public cloud.

Will Creah yield to public pressure or punish Antigone for her defiance? This futuristic retelling of Sophocles’ tragedy transforms the Greek chorus into a dynamic talk show/news program, with characters communicating through virtual projections.

QUEENS – Written by Kristen Doherty

King Henry VIII finds himself trapped in purgatory, bound to his throne by a sinister Fool and the ethereal Women in White. In this gilded cage, he must endlessly relive the sins he committed against his queens, mistresses, and court.

Experience a powerful exploration of guilt and redemption as Henry faces the ghosts of his past.
