NOMADIC THEATRE
Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead
By Tom Stoppard
Directed by Kathleen Joyce (COL ’15)
Produced by Conor Ross (COL ‘16)
What do we become when no one is watching? Tom Stoppard’s existentialist tragicomedy “Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead” unceremoniously derails “Hamlet” in order to follow Shakespeare’s least intrepid wanderers, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. At once funny and chilling, Stoppard constructs a labyrinthine game of questions without answers. Our somewhat heroes are forced to consider the possibility: what if there’s no one enforcing the rules? Stoppard’s absurdist tragicomedy challenges the distinction between art and reality, as well as the sensation of insignificance experienced in a seemingly out of control world, as classic Shakespearean characters take on inverted roles in this existential play.

A Mouthful of Birds
By Caryl Churchill
Directed by Brendan Quinn (COL ’14)
Produced by Sarah Konig (COL ’16)
Advised by Professor Maya E. Roth
Modernity and myth seduce each other in this electrifying work from Caryl Churchill (“Far Away,” “Top Girls,” “Cloud Nine”), widely regarded as one of the greatest living playwrights. Loosely based on Euripides’ “The Bacchae,” this bold collage of vignettes depicts a Dionysian clash of seven urbanites on the verge of violent transformation. Incorporating highly physical movement, this ensemble work weaves tales of possession, lust, and madness into a swirling blend of contemporary and ancient forces, giving flesh to the uncomfortable notion that sometimes we need to fall apart in order to come back together again.

NOMADIC THEATRE
pool (no water)
Written by Mark Ravenhill
Directed by Hannah Hauer-King
Produced by Jack Cassou
Pool (no water) is a contemporary piece written by the acclaimed Mark Ravenhill (Citizenship, A Play In Three Acts, Shopping and F**cking), tackling issues of artistic jealousy, addiction, and schadenfreude at it’s most extreme. The play centers on six once-struggling artists who during their drug-abusive and sexually risqué youth formed a tight knit group in the bohemian quarter. Deciding to go visit the lavish home of a previous friend and collaborator, a woman who has achieved a success they resent and critique to the highest degree, they are faced with an accident on the first night of their visit rendering the owner of the house hospitalized. ‘The Group’ are left to wrestle with feelings of guilt, horror, alongside a ruthless instinct to exploit the tragedy for their own aesthetic ends.
For mature audiences only
PLEASE NOTE: Location for this performance is at a townhouse located at 1239 37th St. NW (37th St. NW, between Prospect and N St. — at the foot of Georgetown University’s Lauinger Library steps, Washington, D.C.)
