FEn

Against the flat, bleak landscape of the Fen-lands, men and women are cramped into bitterness by grinding labor and economic oppression. Fen is composed of brief, fiercely resonant scenes, carving with powerful humanity the desolate lives of the village’s men and women.First performed in 1983 at the University of Essex Theatre, Fen is a flinty, eerie play, haunted by the ghosts of starving field workers and claustrophobic in its condemnation of agrarian and social exploitation.

 

What to Send up When it Goes Down

"As lines between characters and actors--as well as observers and observed--blur, a dizzying series of vignettes builds to a climactic moment in which performance and reality collide, highlighting the absurdity of anti-Blackness in our society. Through facilitation and dialogue we must decide how to cope, resist, and move forward."

Gallathea or Galatea is an Elizabethan era stage play, a comedy by John Lyly. Every five years the god Poseidon demands that a little Greek village sacrifice its fairest virgin to him. Melebeus and Tyterus have both won this unhappy lottery this time out, and dress up their two daughters, Gallathea and Phillida, as boys and send them away till the danger's over. The girls meet in the woods ruled by Artemis and her nymphs, and fall in love with each other, each wanting to believe that the other is a real boy.
