Dogg's Hamlet, Cahoot's Macbeth

The comma that divides Dogg's Hamlet and Cahoot's Macbeth serves both to separate them and to show their relationship. One could not exist without the othe and tegether they form a piece of theatre that makes a statement greater than the sum of its parts.
Beginning with a language game from Ludwig Wittgenstein's Philosiphical Investigations, Stoppard discards our familiar English in favour of Dogg, a language that is caught more than learned. From there we attack shakespeare's classic Hamlet with irreverence, language and actors own thrown about the stage with reckless abandon.
Season: March 11 - 27.

The Importance of Being Earnest (L'Importance d'être Constant)
