Anatomy of a Suicide November 14-16
By: Alice Birch
Directed by: Barbara Rubin

In this boldly experimental play, the stories of three women - Carol, Anna and Bonnie, each existing in a different time period - are played out simultaneously on stage in a theatrical triptych. Not only do the three plays work together thematically, like a triptych painting, they essentially create a fourth play. The script for Anatomy of a Suicide is “scored” like a piece of music, rather than a typical play with a traditional plot structure, providing a thrillingly difficult challenge for the actors on stage and for the audience. Winner of the 2018 Susan Smith Blackburn Prize for Playwriting, Anatomy Of A Suicide is a revelatory exploration of mothers and daughters, and examines to what extent trauma is inherited or acquired. 
 
Content Advisory:
Anatomy of a Suicide contains some material that may be distressing to some audience members. This content includes: depression, suicide/self-harm, issues of mental health, descriptions of sexual violence, and intravenous drug usage & drug addiction. There is a graphic description of a birth told as part of a dream.
 
Additionally, please note that his production contains flashing lights.

Bakkhai September 30 - October 2
By: Anne Carson
Directed by: Ioanna Katsarou

Using Anne Carson’s translation of Euripides’ most subversive - and controversial - play, Bakkhai is about conflicts and the circle of death and rebirth. Dionysus’s world of instincts and senses clashes disastrously with a world of order and oppression. Dionysus, the liberator, is the god of beginnings, a god who dies and is reborn perpetually. A god whose nature is ambiguous. One thing is certain: every new beginning starts with death.
 
Content Disclosure:
Please bear in mind this is Mythological and will contain: supernatural fantastical events, violence, possession, drunkenness, calamity (earthquake & fire), deaths by lightning bolt, mutilation, ritual, sacrifice, gods transforming themselves into human or animal form and transforming others, as well as impersonation.
