Like typical siblings, Lawrence and Joanna love to play make believe. Whether they're bickering at the queen's table, pulling treasures out of the enchanted Surprise Box, or teaching impassioned lessons to their imaginary pupils, they understand that only in their fantasy world can they truly run their own show. Unfortunately, the real world won't stay silent forever, and Lawrence and Joanna have a wealth of consequences to face. Her blossoming pregnancy reminds them that they're not kids anymore, but how can they manage this impending responsibility when they refuse to abandon the magical comforts of their apartment?

A surprisingly endearing look at a deep love gone wrong, this timeless and provocative early work from American master Lanford Wilson explores the danger of living exclusively in a private world.

This world premiere by one of New York's most exciting young playwrights journeys into the psyche of a haunted superhero. Heracles, master of impossible feats from Greece to Hell, takes a bleakly human turn for the worse when he murders his wife and children out of shame for his adulterous lifestyle. He implores Theseus, old friend and fellow ruler, to end his life, but Theseus cannot reconcile his own grief with Heracles' request. Once majestic and untouchable, these two kings must salvage their lives from the depths of sudden ruin.
