The smash comedy hit of the London and Broadway stages, this classic from the playwright
of Private Lives follows fussy, cantankerous novelist Charles Condomine, re-married but haunted (literally)
by the ghost of his late first wife, the clever and insistent Elvira who is called
up by a visiting “happy medium,” one Madame Arcati. His home and life are quickly
turned into shambles as his wife’s ghost torments both himself and his new bride,
Ruth.

Winner of the 2015
Tony Award for Best Play
The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time is a play told from the perspective of a 15 year old boy, Christopher Boone, who
describes himself as a “mathematician with some behavioral difficulties” living in
Wiltshire, England. He has never ventured alone beyond the end of his road, he detests
being touched, and he distrusts strangers. When Christopher discovers the dead body
of his neighbor’s dog, Wellington, speared with a garden fork, and finds himself under
suspicion, he is determined to find out what happened. He overcomes his fears and
difficulties to set off on a rather perilous adventure to uncover the mystery behind
the murdered dog and the truth of his own unique life story.
…just terrific…a profoundly moving play about adolescence, fractured families, mathematics,
colours and lights…dazzling.” —Independent (London)

Wall Street takeover artist Lawrence Garfinkle's computer is careening over the undervalued
stock of New England Wire & Cable. If the stockholders back his takeover, they will
make a bundle but what will happen to the 1200 employees and the community when he
liquidates the assets? Opposing the rapacious financier are the genial man who has
run the company since the year one and his chief operations officer. They bring in
a young lawyer who specializes in fending off takeovers. Should she use green mail?
Find a white knight? Employ a shark repellent? This compelling drama explores whether
corporate raiders are creatures from the Black Lagoon of capitalism or realists.
“… not just a departure but a revelation—an intensely emotional examination of grief,
laced with wit, insightfulness, compassion and searing honesty.” —Variety“
