Paper Walls tells the story of the Goldman family, profoundly affected by Hitler’s rise to power, who find themselves desperately fleeing persecution while awaiting entry into the United States. Restrictive U.S. immigration policies and antisemitism intensified their struggle, and this poignant drama explores themes strikingly relevant to contemporary times.

Werewolves is a razor-sharp, darkly funny chamber piece set in a Cyprus villa where a billionaire’s ten-year-old heir turns a party game into a moral battleground. As a burned-out caregiver, a bilingual caretaker, and a cash-strapped novelist orbit the child’s volatile need for control, the play skewers wealth, labor, and “free will” with blistering speed and surprising tenderness.

Ferocious, intimate, and unsettlingly humane, Werewolves asks what money does to love, what caretaking costs, and who gets to leave the game.

Solastalgia is a fierce, funny, and deeply moving eco-grief drama about what it means to feel homesick while still at home. When Addy, a sharp-tongued, non-binary teen displaced by wildfire, clashes with Paul, a grieving engineer whose town burned to the ground, the two are forced into an unlikely partnership inside a Ten-Step Climate Grief program. As generational tensions flare and secrets surface, their shared losses pull them beyond blame and into something far more fragile: connection.

Urgent, intimate, and unexpectedly hopeful, Solastalgia confronts climate anxiety, complicity, and survival in a burning world, asking whether healing ourselves might be the first radical act of saving it.

Akeldama is a darkly comic, apocalyptic fable about belief, blame, and the unbearable weight of being alone. When the sun stops rising, a woman accused of witchcraft finds herself trapped in a cage beside the man tasked with burning her, while the world quietly edges toward collapse. As strangers drift in and the rules of logic, time, and morality begin to unravel, survival becomes less about saving the world and more about choosing how to face its end.

Absurd, tender, and devastatingly human, Akeldama explores fear, faith, and connection in a moment when certainty has burned away, asking what responsibility we owe one another when nothing is guaranteed to last.

Tell Me All You Know is a searing, intimate drama where history refuses to stay on the page. During rehearsals for a play about Argentina’s Dirty War, three artists find their carefully constructed roles unraveling as personal memories, moral fractures, and long-suppressed truths press into the room.

As the boundaries between past and present collapse, silence becomes its own form of danger, and the act of making art turns into a confrontation with complicity, survival, and the cost of knowing. Urgent, unsettling, and deeply human, Tell Me All You Know asks what happens when the truths we avoid can no longer remain unspoken.
