The Tiring House: Using toys for a tale

One of the plays running in Cupids this summer for the 400th anniversary celebrations is called The Tiring House. It’s a gem, written and performed by Chris Driedzic of St. John’s, about how the famous Globe theatre burned to the ground.

Chris uses the simplest objects - you can see them above - to start the one-man show. Kids eat it up.

You can find details about performance dates for the play, and others in the New World Theatre Project, right here.
