The award-winning play Love, Bitches is a teen comedy tinged with horror and centered on a conflict between a punk and pop music band on a concert tour they must share due to production reasons. The initial animosity must subside when it is revealed that the sister of the punker Tequila is living with the leader of the pop band, Étien, who has been entrusted with the care of the beloved poodle of the manager of both bands. After a visit from her sister, the alcohol-soaked and depressed Tequila falls in love with the poodle and walks off into the night with him. Étien’s frantic search for his boss’s most precious possession takes unexpected turns.

The Marriage of Alice B. Toklas by Gertrude Stein
The show goes on in London! Performances continue until April 16. Nominated for two Offies (Best Ensemble and Best Set), the award for Off-West End shows

Everyone’s invited to the wedding of the century. Picasso’s arrived with one of his wives, and two of his mistresses. Hemingway is here too, with his wife and his favorite matador. And at the top table, the brides, literary superstars: Gertrude Stein and Alice B. Toklas, presiding over a banquet of conversation about art, genius, sex, fame, and love. Fueled only by wedding champagne (including a glass for our guests, of course!), four brave actors play over thirty characters in this breathtaking marriage farce. 

Written and directed by Edward Einhorn. Starring Kelly Burke, Natasha Byrne, Mark Huckett, and Alyssa Simon.

The first modern dystopian novel, written as a socialist propaganda piece in 1908. Jack London envisions a world in which the oligarchs form a fascist regime in America, told from the perspective of two young socialist lovers. Antonia Meredith, a historian from a utopia in the far future, provides dubious historical context. A mixture of romance, rhetoric, and revolution, accompanied by the folk music of the IWW Songbook. Adapted as a three-part audio drama from our earlier stage adaptation.


The true story of a 1920's con man who made a fortune selling his impotence cure: surgically implanted goat testicles. He then became a radio star and a successful politician. A Brechtian parable about American Greatness, told with country music.
