October 19 – December 10, 2017

Set among the decadent ruling class of pre-revolutionary France, this Olivier Award-winning play is a seductive and unsettling tale of sex and revenge in an all-too-recognizable world, where love is a blood sport played for glory and malice, and men have all – almost all – the power.

Directed by: Nike Doukas
January 18 – March 11, 2018

Directed by: Andi Chapman
