power / trip

Carnegie Mellon School of Drama

a dynamic, modern reworking of Shakespeare’s Richard II. Set in a community center deep in rural America, and inspired by 1970s psychedelica and southern ghost stories, the piece weaves together old and new text, political media archives, live music, dreamscapes, and drug trips to tell a story about what—and who—we choose to believe.

Phenomenal… Ruthless… A sacred experience.” — The Tartan
