Orestes 2.0 2013 Promotional Poster

Orestes 2.0 by Charles Mee

October 12, 2013 @ 7:30 pm – 9:30 pm –

Colorado State University presents Charles Mee’s jaw-dropping twist on classic characters in Orestes 2.0, an edgy and dark re-visioning of the original works of Greek playwright Euripides. This fever-dream of a play weaves snippets from Vogue Magazine, Soap Opera Digest, interviews with porn star Mai Lin, and works by William Burroughs and Apollinaire, with plays of Euripides as it tells the story of Orestes and Electra, who murdered their mother to avenge the murder of their father at her hands.


Tartuffe 2015 Promotional Poster

Shakespeare at Sunset Presents: Tartuffe

September 7, 2013 @ 7:30 pm – 9:30 pm –

In this brisk 85-minute family entertainment, translated by Richard Wilbur, Tartuffe is transformed into the 60s mod subculture that changed fashion, music, art, cars, anything that the upper middle class thought to be popular, fashionable, and modern. Revived in the television series Mad Men, images of pop art and the mod movement will influence the visual and aural aspects of the production, blending of 17th-century Paris with the “McMansion” or a present-day suburb in the U.S.
