THE HUCKSTERS Comes to Alexander Upstairs
The Hucksters is an acid-tongued exploration of a casual sexual encounter gone awry. A man and a woman meet after not seeing each other for years and what starts off as a romantic, booze fueled evening, slowly begins to unravel into a psychological mystery as an incident from their shared history rears its head. The mistakes of the past become the horrors of the present as these two broken people dig into their previous lives and the lies that lead them to each other.

Shakespeare Theatre Company to Present MIES JULIE, 11/9-24
The Shakespeare Theatre Company is proud to present Mies Julie, the unflinching South African adaptation of August Strindberg's Miss Julie.

Following a sell-out run at the 2012 Edinburgh Festival Fringe, this presentation by the Baxter Theatre Centre at the University of Cape Town in association with the South African State Theatre has earned many awards and accolades on its international tour to Ireland, Finland, London and the U.S. Mies Julie will make its Washington, D.C. debut at STC's Lansburgh Theatre (450 7th Street NW) from November 9-24, 2013.

BWW Reviews: MIES JULIE, Riverside Studios, March 11 2013
Based on August Strindberg's 1888 play Miss Julie, Mies Julie transfers the action from a Count's estate in Sweden to a powerful (unseen) white farmer's house in modern-day post-apartheid South Africa. The bulk of proceedings concerns his daughter Julie (Hilda Cronje) and John (Bongile Mantsai), a young black man who has worked for the family with his mother Christine (Thoko Ntshinga) for many years. In an early conversation, Julie tells John her father will 'shoot the black man in the head that puts his hands on me', setting into motion a chain of events that seems doomed to end in despair.
