Re-imagined in a dystopian mid-21st Century Brooklyn where economic inequality and police surveillance have become the dominant social realities, audiences for Three Sisters are invited to seek refuge with the Prozorov family as they sing, dance, and philosophize their way through the night following actors through a magnificent historic building in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn. Built into the theatrical production is a social experiment. Tickets range from 99¢ to $99 as audiences can choose their own experience of the play by purchasing tickets by class levels.

In Comedy of Errors, we see the master dramatist speaking directly to the crowds of ordinary people whose enthusiasm established him. He thanks them with an event that is physical, populist and funny. Our play was set not in the exotic east, but in the hipsterland of “Girls” and The L Magazine. Our Ephesian streets were not the cutthroat bazaar of Elizabethan imagination, but a Brooklyn street fair. Like its original, our Comedy was performed outdoors in natural light for audiences free to move about and focus on whatever caught their interest.

An absurdist, existentialist tragicomedy by Tom Stoppard, first staged at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 1966, the play expands upon the exploits of two minor characters from Shakespeare’s Hamlet, the courtiers Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. The action of Stoppard’s play takes place mainly “in the wings” of Shakespeare’s, with brief appearances of major characters from Hamlet who enact fragments of the original’s scenes. Between these episodes the two protagonists voice their confusion at the progress of events of which occurring onstage without them in Hamlet they have no direct knowledge.
