Downstage presents Palace of the End by Judith Thompson. Three unforgettable stories of the war in Iraq: the 23-year-old soldier imprisoned for torturing prisoners, the weapons inspector who blew the whistle on the lie of WMD's in Iraq, and the mother and political leader who suffered the greatest loss imaginable. This raw and poetic work will challenge your beliefs while celebrating the music of the human voice and the depths of the human soul.

Sage Theatre presents Frozen by Bryony Lavery. Ten-year-old Rhona disappears, and this tragic event ties together the lives of three strangers: her mother Nancy, who drifts into a state of frozen hope; Ralph, a tattooed drifter; and Agnetha, an academic studying the nature of serial killings and mourning a loss of her own. A powerful story about how we handle grief, and the possibility of redemption.
