Dunsinane Staged-Reading Wednesday, December 7 at 8:00pm
About the play: David Greig's captivating, imagined sequel to Shakespeare's Macbeth explores one man's attempt to restore peace in a country consumed by war. Macbeth is dead. Under cover of night, the English army has swept in, killed the tyrant and claimed Scotland's seat of power. But efforts to restore order appear futile as the situation spins out of control. Fierce one minute and funny the next, Scottish playwright David Greig's extraordinary ability to infuse a dark story with rich humor results in a lively, vital examination of power-illuminating uncanny parallels between Scotland's medieval and present-day political landscapes. Join us for this one-night-only special staged-reading directed by Brien Lang and featuring a cast of Wilbury audience favorites.

House Warming
by Jesse Hawley and James Stanley
WORK-IN-PROGRESS SHOWING
TUESDAY, DECEMBER 13 7:30PM
Presented as part of The Wilbury Group's New Work Development program, Studio W

Staged as a housewarming party - with you as our guests - House Warming uses small talk, show and tell, parlor tricks and song to explore themes of identity, isolation, and the psychic entropy that takes hold when we close our doors to the outside world. Employing the domestic parlor theatrics of Albee's Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? and the surreal noir aesthetics of Daniel Clowes' Eightball comics, we invite you to an intimate evening of song, conversation and deconstructed realities.

ABOUT HOUSE WARMING
House Warming is a new experiment in theater + music created by Jesse Hawley and James Stanley, multi-disciplinary artists and longtime collaborators in the groundbreaking theater collective the National Theater of the United States of America (NTUSA). Hawley and Stanley's work with the NTUSA has been hailed as "breathtaking," and "a triumph of stagecraft and style."

Roadhouse: The Musical Special Holiday Edition at The Wilbury's Annual Non-Denominational Holiday Party MONDAY DECEMBER 19, 7:00PM FREE
Audiences reactions ranged from pure delight to bemused befuddlement in 2015 when Brien Lang's concert version of the classic Patrick Swayze film Roadhouse hit the Wilbury stage. This time around there will be more songs, more characters and more throat-ripping thrills as a new and improved version of the ever evolving project returns with a special holiday twist.
