Uncle Vanya
by Anton Chekhov
translated by Paul Schmidt
adapted and directed by János Szász
November 30 - December 28
Chekhov's tragicomedy is set on a provincial Russian estate, where little disturbs the inhabitants' quiet lives until the head of the family brings home his beautiful new wife.

The Children of Herakles
by Euripides
translated by Ralph Gladstone
directed by Peter Sellars
January 4-25
After their father's death, the children of Herakles are exiled from their home by a hostile regime. They flee from country to country in search of sanctuary, finding every border closed to them. Euripides' twenty-four-hundred-year-old investigation of the plight of refugees could have been written this morning.

La Dispute
by Marivaux, translated by Gideon Lester
adapted and directed by Anne Bogart, featuring the SITI Company
February 1-22
La Dispute examines the genesis of love, desire, betrayal, and passion; a kind of Adam and Eve story in the garden of lust and inconstancy. It is about the danger and intrigue of seduction. It is choreographic, set on a contemporary battlefield, twenty performers - ten men and ten women - dressed in fabulous clothes, going at each other with all their available wit and passion.
