Law firms may destroy souls, but they don't kill people. Do they...? Described by the NY Times as a "delightfully paranoid little nightmare," The Thugs blows up the small lives of workers caught in big, bad business.

Director John Bouchard gave a talk following the April 18 performance
Othello is Shakespeare鈥檚 remarkable domestic tragedy. Almost a chamber play, against the background of the tumult of Venetian trade wars, Othello follows five characters trapped inside the violent revenge fantasy of theater鈥檚 most chilling psychopath. At the heart of his play, Shakespeare retells the Italian writer Cinthio鈥檚 story of African Othello, the great general of Venice, driven mad with jealousy at the hands of his trusted officer, Iago. It is a uniquely powerful and moving experience as we watch the most improbable, and simultaneously hopeful, love story鈥攐f winter and spring, black and white鈥攄isintegrate before us in the hands of what Coleridge called 鈥渕otiveless malignity."
