SEASON
Season 14
Christmas Eve is hectic enough when it’s spent in the company of loved ones. But when you’re the warden of a government psychiatric hospital, the holiday promises to be anything but a silent night. When one patient is discovered dead and another gives birth, an inquisition is formed to assign blame for the dubious misdeeds and to ensure punishment is inflicted on the guilty parties. Before long, the boss starts unraveling, and a conspiring staff leaves unattended the boiling tensions simmering beneath them. A riotous blend of farce and terror, The Hothouse is roundly considered to be 2005 Nobel Laureate Harold Pinter’s most comic play. Dado, celebrated director of The Fastest Clock in the Universe and The Sea Horse here at A Red Orchid, returns to kick off our electrifying season.
