Ophelia Theatre Group presents a fantastic array of new plays based on classic tales, but ‘with a twist’! These performances, divided over four weekends, will turn modern and classic myth on its ear.

Love(un)Sought by The Astoria Music Project
Classical composers may have sought out their favorite passages from William Shakespeare’s works for inspiration, but thanks to a new performance piece by the combined forces of the Ophelia Theatre Group and the Astoria Music Project, you don’t have to! Love (un)Sought pairs classical music throughout history with scenes from the extraordinary Shakespeare plays on which they are based. After all, an inspirational evening of classical music sought is good, but given unsought at the “With a Twist” festival is even better!”

Skin of the Teeth by Anna Beecher
“A part-thriller, part-fairytale adaptation of the Brothers Grimm ‘The Boy Who Went Forth To Learn To Shudder’ the story of a boy without fear. Nicholas wants to feel fear. People can tell that something is missing in him. After a violent accident he accepts the help of charming stranger, Mr. Bacon, who takes him under his wing, out of his small seaside town and into an enchanting and perilous world.”
