Beginning in January of 2009, PL115 will produce two plays and begin development of two original works that wrestle with the issue of human connection in times of chaos:

WORLD PREMIERES

Artifacts of Consequence

A new dystopic farce written by Ashlin Halfnight and inspired by the Icarus/Dedalus myth, Artifacts of Consequence investigates our dependence on the signifiers of modern culture, even in the face of a worldwide catastrophe.

Artifacts of Consequence is a co-production of PL115 and Electric Pear, re-uniting the creative team that brought you the international hit, God’s Waiting Room.

Directed by Kristjian Thor
April 16 – May 3, 2009
The Wild Project, NYC

Caucasian Chalk Circle

Following a successful workshop as part of our Mabou Mines/ SUITE residency, PL115 is excited to bring stripped down, decidedly 21st century interpretation of Brecht’s epic masterpiece about war and responsibility to The Chocolate Factory in Long Island City.

IN DEVELOPMENT

SINK

Directed by co-Artistic Director Jeff Clarke, SINK will be a company-devised piece unpacking how it is we relate (to one another, to our environment, to our history and to our philosophy) following catastrophic tragedies.

Inspired by T.S. Eliot’s The Waste Land and contextualized by the repeated environmental disasters of California’s Salton Sea, SINK will be workshopped in January 2009 and will premiere in Spring, 2010.

Fuente Ovejuna

Working with the director Dave Dalton (Drama Desk Nomination, HMS Pinafore), PL115 will stage a fresh new adaptation of Lope de Vega’s Spanish Golden Age classic.

Fuente Ovejuna will be workshopped in the Fall of 2009 and will premiere in late 2010.
