A Passage to India

A Passage To India
by E. M. Forster adapted by Martin Sherman Directed By Elizabeth Carlin-Metz

“Sumptuous artistry, starting with the set and costume designs, and—in one simple but glorious moment worthy of Julie Taymor—a thrilling evocation of an elephant ride.” -- Chicago Free Press

 

Mother Courage

Mother Courage and her Children

King Lear

King Lear
by William Shakespeare directed by Elizabeth Carlin-Metz

Top Ten 2004 Chicago Plays
“Then there are the shows that seem re-felt from start to finish, offered up as if there was no precedent for their discoveries. Such revelations are even more wonderful when the source is as deceptively familiar as King Lear, happily not so familiar when the Vitalist Theatre reinvent[s] the ultimate dysfunctional clan” - Performink

 

Lucie Cabrol

The Three Lives of Lucie Cabrol
by John Berger adapted by Simon McBurney & Mark Wheatly devised by the Theatre de Complicite directed by Elizabeth Carlin-Metz
