The Amateurs

An intrepid troupe of pageant players races across medieval Europe struggling to outrun the Black Death. The arrival of a mysterious outsider sends Hollis the leading lady in search of answers that can only be found off-script... and soon the 14th century plague begins to look like another more recent one. This wildly inventive and funny new work examines the evolution of human creativity in a dark age: when does a crisis destroy us and when does it open new frontiers?
