Wondering what we've got planned? Here's a little peek. Dates, space and times to be announced soon, so check back in soon.

Our company members run this joint. So be warned. This year they have a wicked Shakespeare-jones.

Enter Ophelia, Distracted

oph
Company member Kimberly Gilbert immerses Ophelia into a sonic landscape that frames and follows her descent into madness. Expanding on one of our earliest experiments at the Black Cat (And Then It Faster Rock'd 2005), we add more bodies, more verse, and more noise in a fascinating culmination of classical punk. April 2012

 

 

 

Bootleg Shakespeare:
Hamlet, the Bad Quarto

bad quarto
The all-too-often ignored 1st printing of the world's most famous play. Half as long, with language more drunk than poetic, this strange, taut and surprising script still tells the story of Hamlet. What is it? The work of pirates, an early version, a touring copy, a memorial reconstruction? Whatever the answer, it makes for a perfect bootleg. Summer 2012

 

 

The Rape of Lucrece, remixed.

lucrece

A pure Taffety Punk show: the loud coalescence of actors, dancers, and musicians bending Shakespeare's epic poem to their will. Lucrece's shockingly resonant story cries to be heard. This punk dance theatre concert is the answer. Fall 2012
