Dysfunctional Theatre Classics’ mission is to produce underperformed scripts from previous centuries and to give a new take on “classic”
plays of past centuries, as well as continuing the Dysfunctional mission to provide exposure to new playwrights. All of these works are
considered Dysfunctional - the Classics Series encourages the audience
to perceive them in a new light and to realize that dysfunction isn’t a
product of 21st or even 20th century life; it’s a product of the human
condition. |
