Presented at TheatreWorks 2016 - 2017 Season September 30 - October 15 Our Own Voice presents Body of Stories: A Moving Exploration Directed by Kimberly Baker OOV opens their 26th season with an original work inspired by the work of Anna Halprin and Augusto Boal. This dance-theatre piece explores personal and collective narratives in relation to the body. The production utilizes a collaborative process allowing the cast to engage with one another in spontaneous ways to co-create the experience for themselves and for the audience. It is built around the notion that our bodies are the homes that our memories and our experiences inhabit, shaping those memories and experiences as we move through the world. Body of Stories is a post-modern meditation on who we are and how our lives are shaped.

Presents Cuddles, by Joseph Wilde The plot focuses on the dark and wrenching tale of two sisters who go on an emotionally harrowing journey: Eve is a teenage vampire who has never left her attic room and Tabby is her older, human sister who is also Eve’s tough, damaged and loving keeper. With no other family, Tabby has raised Eve as best she can. Eve lives in the dark, both literally and figuratively, as everything she knows about the world and herself is what Tabby tells her. Tabby struggles to protect her younger sister, going so far as to let Eve drink her blood, while Eve struggles with yearnings she doesn't fully understand. But slowly and inevitably, Eve begins to crave from her sister more than she may be able to provide.

Hamlet's behaviour is considered mad. He kills the eavesdropping Polonius, the court chamberlain, by thrusting his sword through a curtain. Polonius's son Laertes returns to Denmark to avenge his father's death. Polonius's daughter Ophelia loves the Prince but his brutal behavior drives her to madness. Ophelia dies by drowning. A duel takes place and ends with the death of Gertrude, Laertes, Claudius, and Hamlet.
