| | Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead
by Tom Stoppard
Samuel French, Inc. (Concord Theatricals)
Comedy
Acclaimed as a modern dramatic masterpiece, Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead is the fabulously inventive tale of Hamlet as told from the worm's-eye view of the bewildered Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, two minor characters in Shakespeare's play. In Tom Stoppard's best-known work, this Shakespearean Laurel and Hardy finally get a chance to take the lead role, but do so in a world where echoes of Waiting for Godot resound, where reality and illusion intermix, and where fate leads our two heroes to a tragic but inevitable end. | Buy tickets | |

Rehearsing in the basement of Smudge's family's plumbing supply company, they became "Forever Plaid". On the way to their first big gig, the "Plaids" are broadsided by a school bus and killed instantly. It is at the moment when their careers and lives end that the story of Forever Plaid begins....

| | Mrs. Lincoln
by Thomas Cullinan
Dramatists Play Service (DPS)
Drama
As described in Fine Arts magazine: “In 1875, ten years after Lincoln’s tragic death, his widow was declared insane and upon petition of her son, Robert, was confined in the Bethlehem Place Sanitarium, Batavia, Illinois, for about a year. Cullinan has set his play in the confines of this room and Mary Todd Lincoln recalls the incidents of her married life, far beyond the four walls that surround her. Cullinan’s treatment is masterly. The rear curtain is divided into panels and as the mind of the woman wanders her thoughts take form. These scenes flash on from time to time as Mrs. Lincoln’s wandering mind brings a new incident into focus. Always she is victimized; always each speaker is inimical in her deranged reasoning…In the second act another inmate imitates Lincoln at the doctor’s orders in an effort to quiet the widow’s mind. And in the final act, when time is nearing for her discharge, Robert calls on his mother and promises her a speedy release." | Buy tickets | |
