The Shakespeare Conspiracy by Ted Bacino and Rufus Cadigan (A Dublin Premiere)
Based on the novel of the same name by Ted Bacino.
This is NOT a Shakesperian play but a play ABOUT Shakesperian plays and who actually wrote them.
The story of the greatest literary deception of all time. A historical drama that intwines the mysteries and then puts the pieces together to offer the only possible resolution. A wild romp through gay 16th Century Elizabethan England. A rapidly unfolding detective narrative filled with drama, comedy, intrigue, murder and a touching love story. How could Christopher Marlowe, a known spy and England's foremost playwright be suspiciously murdered and quickly buried in an unmarked grave just days before he was to be tried for treason? How could William Shakespeare replace Marlowe as England's greatest playwright virtually overnight when he had never written anything before and was merely an unknow actor? Based entirely on historical facts. Preview 9/04/25 Performances 9/05/25-9/08/25 and 9/10/25-9/14/25
Dracula, A Comedy of Terrors by Gordon Greenberg & Steve Rosen (A Regional Premiere)
Based on Bram Stoker's legendary vampire tale.
Ever wondered what would happen if you took Bram Stoker's legendary vampire tale and put in into a blender with the comedic influences of Mel Brooks, Monty Python and The 39 Steps? That's just what happens in this lightning-fast, laugh-out-loud 90-minute gender-bending, quick-change magical romp. Famed female vampire hunter Jean Van Helsing and her motley company chase Count Dracula from the English countryside to Transylvania to "other frightening places." Their antics brim with enough tongue-in-cheek mayhem to fill your cup of giggles. Preview 10/16/25 Performances 10/17/25-10/19/25 and 10/22/25-10/25/25
