Hamlet -Scott Shepherd - Revisiting the 1964 Broadway production of Hamlet starring Richard Burton that was beamed across 2,000 American cinemas at the time, this version mixes the film footage and live performance (with Shepherd in the titular role) in a manner which is sure to breathe fresh life into the Danish play.

The Extremists - Samuel Beckett meets Larry King in this new play by CJ Hopkins. When an expert on terrorism appears on a TV talk show, the conversation becomes a perverse satirical rant on the increasing alienation of the individual in the modern world.
