Upcoming Shows

Up Next: BORN WITH TEETH

performances start September 1st

By Liz Duffy Adams
Directed by Josh Costello

Intimate. Ingenious. Intoxicating.

Will Shakespeare is an upstart crow looking to make his name. Kit Marlowe is the greatest poet of the age and knows it. He's also a spy for the English crown. In the back room of a tavern, against the backdrop of a polarized and paranoid England where even the slightest misstep can lead to a death sentence, the two writers embark on a risky collaboration. Artistic partnership becomes a dangerous dance of inspiration, artistry, seduction, and possible betrayal. Experience the thrill of creative expression and the precariousness of living in a society where every move is scrutinized.

 

“Glorious… [a] jewel of a script!”
-Houston Chronicle

Inspiration and artistry vie with seduction and betrayal when Will Shakespeare and Kit Marlowe collaborate on their most dangerous project yet in BORN WITH TEETH.

In 1984, this provocative retelling of the prescient novel resonates more powerfully than ever, asking whether love and freedom can stand up to a fascistic assault on language and thought itself.

History repeats itself in 1626 and 2008 when the Lenape people confront European notions of property and finance in the compelling MANAHATTA.

Ancestral visitations call upon joy and pain, suffering and resiliency, music and song to celebrate a lineage of Black men from enslavement and Jim Crow to Black Power in BLUE DOOR.

In THE LIFESPAN OF A FACT, facts battle with truth in this hilarious misadventure about journalistic integrity.

Single tickets are now available for all five shows of Aurora's 2023/2024 Season with early bird discounts available through 8/6, so get IN now!
