Stage 2 – Season 1
Episodes
She Stoops to Conquer
Hardcastle, a man of substance, looks forward to acquainting his daughter with a potential suitor. But thanks to playboy Lumpkin, he's mistaken by his prospective son-in-law Marlow for an innkeeper. Hilarity ensues.
Peer Gynt
The classic tale by Henrik Ibsen; a complete opposite of a hero is banished from his village for his (in)actions. He then travels the world with more or less the same result trying to impress.
Mrs. Warren's Profession
A very proper young woman is horrified to discover not only that her mother once worked as a prostitute in order to support her, but that she later became a whorehouse madam rather than give up the business.
The Duchess of Malfi
The Duchess of Malfi is recently widowed and her greedy brothers are determined she will not marry again, so they employ Daniel De Bosola, a murderer in their pay to spy on her. He fails and most of the cast pay for the brothers' plotting. One of the great revenge tragedies based on a true story, though John Webster, the playwright, probably didn't know this. Who would believe so much mayhem could happen, five hundred years before the Godfather?
The Shadow of a Gunman
The first part of Sean O'Casey's Dublin Trilogy. Set in 1920, as the Irish War of Independence rages, "Shadow of a Gunman" is the story of two young men, Donald Davoren and Seamus Shields, who share a flat in Dublin.
