It is 1621. Shakespeare’s been dead for seven years. Two passionate thespians struggle to assemble and print the First Folio, the original anthology of Shakespeare’s plays. In this referential work, pinnacle scenes from Shakespearean classics, such as As You Like It, Macbeth, and King Lear, are woven into the birth of the First Folio with charm, wit, and misadventure.

The town is plagued by acts of arson, yet upstanding businessman and model citizen Biedermann remains unperturbed. Ever the hospitable host, he welcomes two new guests into his home. He’s so accommodating, he even helps them store drums of gasoline in his attic and offers them a light. Originally written as a reflection on the rise of both Nazism and Communism, The Arsonists is a timely political satire about the cost of complacency.

A year after their mother’s death, the four Pelican sisters return to the family home to celebrate her memory and squabble over dividing the house. Armed with bottles of prosecco and Mum’s original birthday cake recipe, childhood stories, long-held gripes, and hidden desires bubble to the surface. Devised by the UK-based collective The Wardrobe Ensemble, The Last of the Pelican Daughters is an irreverent and darkly funny exploration of inheritance, loss, and sisterly solidarity.
