The Clay Cart

Can a play this ancient be this much fun?
Bursting with music and dance, color, action, and romance, this 2,000-year-old Indian classic—utterly Shakespearean in spirit—proves that great storytelling transcends the centuries. Jewels are stolen. A Brahmin faces execution. A beautiful courtesan is at the mercy of the King’s bad-boy brother. Journey through a world where gamblers, holy men, political fugitives and royal scoundrels intersect and good people triumph. Don’t miss new Artistic Director Bill Rauch’s sensual and celebratory opening-season gift.
