Rufus Norris, a contemporary playwright, has created an account of this fairy tale that wants us to envision what happens after Beauty awakens and why “happily ever after” may not be exactly what one might assume. Initially produced in London at the Arts Threshold Theatre, and performed at the Young Vic Theatre, this highly entertaining and acclaimed retelling is theater at its essence: joyful, insightful, and highly creative. Suitable for audiences of all ages. For ticket pricing call Wilkins Box Office at 908-737-SHOW. Othello By William Shakespeare Directed by E.

Wacky, irreverent and as entertaining today as it was when it first opened in 1879, The Pirates of Penzance spins an hilarious farce of sentimental pirates, bumbling policemen, dim-witted young lovers, dewy-eyed daughters and an eccentric Major-General, all morally bound to the often-ridiculous dictates of honor and duty.
