Synopsis
Deception, dirty tricks and desperation lead to true love in Oliver Goldsmith's classic comedy.

Miss Hardcastle is a charming young lady of noble birth living out in the country with her parents and her mischevious half-brother Tony Lumpkin. When her father arranges for a potential suitor, Mr. Marlow, to travel from London to court her, she discovers that he's so nervous around noble women that he can't even look her in the eye. What's more, her brother Tony has tricked young Mr. Marlow into believing that her father's house is a country inn instead of his house. Miss Hardcastle resolves to play on Mr. Marlow's mistake by pretending to be the barmaid of the "inn," tricking him into courting her with more confidence. Will she be able to seal the deal before her father angrily kicks Mr. Marlow out of the house?

Meanwhile, Miss Hardcastle's cousin, Miss Neville has romantic problems of her own. Mrs. Hardcastle, her guardian and aunt, wants her to marry Tony Lumpkin (who would rather die than marry Miss Neville). Miss Neville has her heart set on running off with the dashing Mr. Hastings. It will take all of Miss Neville's and Tony Lumpkin's wit to trick Mrs. Hardcastle and free themselves to marry whom they'd like!

Synopsis
War with the Scots. Battle joined near Crécy. But first... shall we dance?

Edward III of England, having asserted his right to inherit the French throne, has no sooner begun marshaling forces for war with the imperious John of France, when news arrives of a Scottish invasion. Racing north to defend a castle under siege by the Scots, he finds himself doubly distracted by a covetous obsession over the wife of his friend, the Earl of Salisbury. When their encounter takes an unexpected turn, Edward emerges shaken–newly aware of his morphing roles as husband, father, and monarch.

This production will feature stylized movement inspired by console-based avatars of the late 1990s and beyond.
