In this hilarious comedy classic, Kaufman and Hart focus on America's national obsession with celebrity. Thanks to Sheridan Whiteside, famous critic, celebrity lecturer, radio personality, “intimate friend of the great and near great, and by many accounts, the world's rudest man,” the holiday season at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Ernest W. Stanley of Mesalia, Ohio promises to be anything but an old-fashioned Christmas. A nasty spill on an icy porch during a winter lecture tour forces the formidable Mr. Whiteside to convalesce for the holidays in Middle America. His extended family of luminaries, mad visionaries, and assorted oddballs threatens the narrow provincial values and rectitude of the Stanley home. He physically overtakes the house, insinuates himself in family affairs, and becomes the occasion for a nightmarish Twelve Days of Christmas featuring ten-thousand cockroaches, a clutch of choir boys, four penguins, three celebrities, two convicts, an octopus, and an Egyptian mummy.

The Illusion is a modern rendering of L'Illusion Comique by Pierre Corneille (1606-1684) freely adapted by Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright, Tony Kushner. It tells the story of a contrite father, Pridamant, who seeks news of the prodigal son he ordered from his house years before. Pridamant goes to a magician, Alcandre, who conjures three episodes from the young man's life. Inexplicably, each scene finds the boy in a slightly different world: names change, allegiances shift and fairy-tale simplicity evolves into elegant tragedy. Pridamant watches, enthralled by his son's struggles, but only as the strange tale reaches its conclusion does he confront the ultimate – and unexpected – truth about his son. An enchanting argument for the triumph of theatrical imagination over reality, The Illusion weaves obsession and caprice, romance and murder, fact and fiction, into an enticing exploration of the greatest illusion of all—love.

William Golding’s classic novel asks provocative questions about civilization and human nature. When a group of youngsters become stranded on a deserted island, strange things occur. The charismatic Ralph quickly establishes himself as group leader, aided by the learned Piggy. But the militant Jack Merridew challenges this order: power hungry and eager to exploit the boys’ baser, more savage instincts. The action builds to a dramatic life or death chase. Golding’s enthralling story, full of misadventure and intrigue, is brought to life in this gripping adaptation by Nigel Williams.
