Shakespeare’s dark and powerful tragedy of murderous ambition plays out in a world of witches and nightmares, making for a Halloween you won’t soon forget! As an exploration of the human capacity for lust and betrayal, the very name of the play’s central character has become synonymous with the evils that lurk in the human heart.

ALL IN THE TIMING
Presented by Miami University Summer Scholars & Western College Alumnae Association
June 14-21
Oxford

Directed by Robert C. Stimmel

Cast: Emily Potten, Tyler Gau, Keith Arcuragi, Abigail Cady, Adam Davisson, David Bryant, Shelby Becker, Bradley Becker

About the Stories:

• In “SURE THING”, two people meet in a cafe and dodge their way through a conversational minefield as the sound of a bell interrupts their false starts and faux pas on the way to falling in love.
• “WORDS, WORDS, WORDS” recalls the philosophical adage that three monkeys typing into infinity will sooner or later produce Hamlet and asks: What would monkeys talk about at their typewriters?
• “THE UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE” brings together Dawn, a young woman with a stutter, and Don, the creator and teacher of Unamunda, a wild comic language. Their lesson sends them off into a dazzling display of hysterical verbal pyrotechnics—and, of course, true love.
• “PHILIP GLASS BUYS A LOAF OF BREAD” is a parodic musical vignette in trademark Glassian style, with the celebrated composer having a moment of existential crisis in a bakery.
• “THE PHILADELPHIA” presents a young man in a restaurant who has fallen into “a Philadelphia,” a Twilight Zone-like state in which he cannot get anything he asks for. His only way out of the dilemma? To ask for the opposite of what he wants.
• “VARIATIONS ON THE DEATH OF TROTSKY” shows us the Russian revolutionary on the day of his demise, desperately trying to cope with the mountain-climber’s axe he’s discovered in his head.
