Quantum Theatre

Dog Face

Based on The Changeling by Thomas Middleton and William Rowley
Adapted and directed by Dan Jemmett
Heppenstall Plant

What do you get when you cross a Jacobean revenge tragedy with a contemporary director whose comic flair is taking Europe by storm? A rag tag band of country music aficionados playing Middleton's overwrought characters and the trailer park from whence they came!

When The World Was Green

by Sam Shepard / Joe Chaikin
The Mattress Factory Garden

The setting is a prison in a nameless country. A great chef is in jail for poisoning a man, the object of his lifelong feud, whom he has been searching for all his life... only he poisoned the wrong man. A young woman, a journalist, visits him. She too is on a quest. At first he resists her. Eventually he begins to talk. And then to cook.

Richard II

by William Shakespeare
The MacHemp Building

King Richard, son of the Black Prince, rules England by divine right, but his self-absorption and the flattery of favorites distract him from the country's impending bankruptcy and the growing threat of civil war - a threat he doesn't see as he prefers to pour the country's coffers into a costly war in Ireland.
