Danse Macabre is a one-person show with music and puppetry conceived by Štěpán Šimek and Jean-Luc Boucherot, and directed by Štěpán Šimek. The play is based on the surprisingly modern and relevant autobiographical poem, The Testament by the 15th century French poet, revolutionary rabble-rouser, balladeer, thief, a prototypical “protest singer,” and a something of a medieval “rock star,” Francois Villon.

Following the sudden death of her roommate Robbie, dancer-choreographer Anna confronts her grief with the support of her steady but uninspiring boyfriend Burton, and her caustic and funny roommate Larry. When Robbie’s brother Pale arrives in a drink- and grief-fueled frenzy, sparks fly as he and Anna gravitate toward and repel one another in a dance of fury, empathy, sadness, and desire.

Surrounded by a media landscape dominated by dissent and alienation, Asylum Theatre presents this beautifully empathetic play about love, human magnetism, and the desire to connect. New York Magazine said of the 2019 Broadway revival, “Burn This feels rare and refreshing in American theatre.”

The Killing Fields, by Anya Pearson, is a riveting new drama about love, loss, and the true price of vengeance. Set in 1980's East Oakland, at the height of the crack epidemic, it reimagines the Ancient Greek play, Agamemnon, through an African American lens. Combining poetic language with great humor and heart, The Killing Fields, is a fresh take on one of history's most epic tales.

This dark comedy from David Mamet is celebrating its 30th anniversary and is today as timely as ever. Mamet’s characters fight the battle between art and commerce, but who wins? It’s a story about the intense value and responsibility of storytelling itself, and the complications and compromises created by power struggles, loyalty, greed, and sexual politics; and it’s marked by the raw language, biting humor, and signature dialogue that have made Mamet one of America’s greatest playwrights.
