Songs from Bedlam
by Doug Jones Henley Street Theatre and Richmond Shakespeare This staged reading, Songs from Bedlam, takes its name from Bethlehem Hospital, which in 1547 became London’s main hospital for the mentally ill. Like the exotic animals in the Tower of London, the mentally ill were on display. Songs from Bedlam uses this historical framework to explore characters who are, in one way or another, disadvantaged: homeless, schizophrenic, alcoholic, etc. What they have in common is that they are looking for connection: with a person, a Higher Power, or some kind of salvation.

Almost Maine
by John Cariani Thursdaenite Players Welcome to Almost, Maine, a town that’s so far north, it’s almost not in the United States—it’s almost in Canada. And it almost doesn't exist.

One cold, clear Friday night in the middle of winter, while the northern lights hover in the sky above, Almost’s residents find themselves falling in and out of love in the strangest ways. Knees are bruised. Hearts are broken. Love is lost, found, and confounded. And life for the people of Almost, Maine will never be the same. ALMOST, MAINE: It’s love. But not quite. |
