Lincoln
by Tony Kushner
In the quiet hours of the pre-dawn, Abraham Lincoln reflects on the mathematical foundations of justice while drafting a crucial telegram. He uses Euclid’s axioms to explain the 'self-evident' nature of equality to two young telegraph operators, ultimately deciding to delay a peace commission to ensure the passage of the 13th Amendment.
Julie (After Strindberg)
by Polly Stenham
Kristina confronts Julie about the inherent power imbalance and betrayal in their relationship, moving beyond the immediate sexual scandal to the deeper class-based exploitation. She expresses the pain of losing the 'dignity' she carefully maintained through a shared pretense of equality that has now been shattered.
