Handcart Ensemble

Pulitzer Prize-Winning Poet Paul Muldoon on Handcart’s The Burial at Thebes

“I simply can’t imagine a better production of The Burial at Thebes. Handcart Ensemble is a spectacularly gifted group, absolutely equal to the subtleties of Heaney’s text. I’ll go anywhere to see anything they do.” —Paul Muldoon

Two Yeats Plays in two weeks!

Plans are coming along nicely for our next production. It opens in less than two weeks!

As far as publicity goes, we got an email off this morning, have sent off advertisements to the Irish Echo, mailed off postcards, putting up posters, partnering with Irish and poetical organizations, etc. But the real story is in rehearsals. We're getting back to our roots. This one's going to be good, folks. Of course, there's Yeats himself. But the great actors, our wonderful director, the good music Nathan's providing, and much more. Too much to mention in a quick message. It's all looking great -- including a very, very large ball.

Sign up to our mailing list if you haven't already, and we hope to see you at the Independent Theater!
