About this title

Synopsis

“Reunion”
Tom Granby comes home after being abroad for eight years. His friends plan a college reunion hoping to meet the old Tom and enjoy a savory meal. However, the reunion will be more than just a dinner, challenging their values and impacting their lives.

“The Rise and Fall of Cyrus the Great”
An epic on the life of Cyrus the Great, the Persian king who created the Achaemenid dynasty. Based upon ‘The Persian Wars’ by Herodotus, this play takes us on a journey through the human psyche, passing through time, fortune, fate, values, and character. Both plays explore the idea of man's potential, and his sense of self deriving from his connection with Nature and the universe.
