New Jerusalem, The Interrogation of Baruch de Spinoza at Talmud Torah Congregation: Amsterdam, July 27, 1656
By David Ives • September 4 - 23, 2012
Rediscover the smash hit which in 2011 became the best-selling production in our 17-year history – and as a subscriber, you'll get a big discount! This limited return engagement features the same cast as our original production, including Sam Henderson as Baruch de Spinoza, David Bardeen as Rabbi Mortera, and Seth Reichgott as Abraham van Valkenburgh.
The Liar
By David Ives • November 1 - 25, 2012
From the author of New Jerusalem and the Broadway comedy Venus in Fur comes this sophisticated, playful adaptation of the classic French farce by Pierre Corneille. Wildly clever and a bit naughty, the wordplay and swordplay of The Liar make for an evening that's filled with delights!
The Beauty Queen of Leenane
By Martin McDonagh • January 10 - February 3, 2013
Electrifying playwright Martin McDonagh gives us this Tony Award-winning satire of the skirmishes and silent feuds between mothers and daughters. In a small town in western Ireland, spinster Maureen Folan lives with her diabolically helpless mother Mag. When romance blossoms between Maureen and the sweet, uncomplicated Pato Dooley, it pits mother against daughter, setting the stage for an explosive, wildly funny, and deeply affecting finish. .
Henry V
By William Shakespeare • March 14 - April 14, 2013
Shakespeare takes us on an epic journey through royal courts and battlefields, conjuring a vast world through the suggestive power of his incomparable language. From the rousing speeches to the dark eve of Agincourt, Henry V is both adventurous and introspective, a tale of raw power punctuated by surprising moments of comedy. The Lantern is "the city's top presenter of Shakespeare's work." –TheaterMania.com
Heroes
By Tom Stoppard • May 16 - June 9, 2013
Gustave, Phillippe, and Henri—war heroes, all—are plotting an escape. They've had enough of the tortures of their confinement: dictatorial captors, untrustworthy fellow prisoners, and far too many birthday parties. Indeed, life in a retired soldiers' home is almost unbearable! Tom Stoppard's adaptation of the popular play by Gerald Sibleyras is playful, bawdy, and heartbreakingly funny.
