        A classic tragedy by Greek playwright Aeschylus, The Oresteia is an epic story of war, love and revenge -- at least, as it is usually performed. In the hands of Dizzy Miss Lizzie's Roadside Revue, however, it becomes rowdy, raucous, loud and literate, filled with rock, bluegrass and folk music and a sensibility that's part carnival, part burlesque, and part vaudeville.

              Queen Elizabeth I was forced to condemn to death a man believed to be her former lover. On the night before the execution, she demanded that William Shakespeare's acting troupe perform a play to distract her from the heartbreak. Playwright Timothy Findley takes these historical facts, blends in a few "what ifs?" and creates a play about men, women, fantasy, death and, ultimately, love. Learn more...

                In Nikolai Gogol's 19th-century masterpiece of dramatic satire, the system of graft, corruption and ineptitude in Tsarist Russia plays out in a backwater town so far removed from Moscow that it might as well be here.
