Plot Synopsis
An all-female
production of this delightful, courtly comedy. In order to devote
themselves to study, the King and his companions have declared it
illegal for any man to talk to a woman. Suddenly four
beautiful women arrive at court on official business with the King
himself. As the "book men" slowly succumb to the ladies'
charms, they discover that true wisdom is found not in books but
in the eyes of women.

Plot Synopsis
The aging Lear
divides his land between his two eldest daughters in exchange for
their empty flattery and banishes the third, whose only crime is
that she tells the truth. Drawn into a spiral of deceit, madness
and grief, Lear and his children learn that redemption comes too
late. Kingdoms fall and families disintegrate in
Shakespeare's darkest and most harrowing tragedy.

Plot Synopsis
Shakespeare
turns the traditional knight's quest upside down in this ribald
comedy based on a fairy tale. The virginal Helena goes on a
quest to win Bertram, the man she loves. When Helena impresses
the King of France, he gives Bertram to her in marriage, much to
Bertram's displeasure. He flees the marriage (and France),
forcing Helena to go on a second quest to prove her
worthiness to him. This off-beat comedy features colorful
characters, elegant costumes and unique sidebars -
screens on which comic footnotes and animations are projected
during the play.
