“A court case about identity, confusion and love. The fool is the judge and the audience our jury. Can justice be found when we are determined to see the worst in each other?”
Being shipwrecked and having lost her twin brother, Viola thought it best to disguise herself as a boy named Cesario. But now she’s facing charges for actions she knows nothing about. Viola, Count Orsino (whom she loves), Lady Olivia (who loves her), Sir Andrew (who trying to court Lady Olivia), Sir Toby Belch (who is in it for Andrew’s money) and Judge Feste (who is along for the ride) must untangle this mess in order to find justice.

“Putting on a play is challenging enough, but when time is against you, the cast is ever shrinking and the world seems to cut you off at the start, maybe staging William Shakespeare’s infamous Scottish Play would be tempting fate a little too much…”
In an original text by Jo van der Meij with Shakespeare scenes mixed in, five actors must get their act together and be ready to perform at the end of their rehearsals. This metaplay discusses the superstition and betrayal of the acting world within the context of Shakespeare’s Macbeth.

“With everyone fighting for what they most desire, not everyone can get what they want. But with some people fighting for the benefit of the group and some only fighting for themselves, all will get what they deserve.”
Due to the covid-19 pandemic crashing into the world, this Park Avenue production is one of a kind: not a play but a web series. This web series consists of eight scenes chosen by the actors. Watch all episodes here!

“A man who cannot find his place in peace, will do anything to get back to war. Richard is fourth in line for the throne but is determined to prove a villain. Seizing power, however, comes at a cost. A very individual one at that.”
In collaboration with Studenten Toneelvereniging Amsterdam (STA!), this play looks from the perspective of the villain, and the conflict within himself, by having two actors portray Richard simultaneously. Shakespeare’s last play of the King’s Dramas asks who deserve the power of the throne.
