Outsider’s Inn Collective, Seattle, USA

Outsider's Inn Collective's mission is to engage our audience by producing provocative plays by new or little-known playwrights. We have produced plays from the US, Canada, and the UK. We have two different avenues by which we are doing this: our "Armchair" season dictated by our gray and drizzly days in the Pacific Northwest, and our outdoor summer season producing the works of Shakespeare's rivals (Jonson, Kyd, Marston, Massinger, etc), using a method developed by Gorilla Rep (NYC)--"...productions that move from place to place as they go from scene to scene, in outdoor public spaces for the most part, and for free".

In Howard Barker's Brutopia  we are presented with an imagined history of Sir Thomas More and his "unloved" daughter Cecilia. More invented the perfect society--Utopia; Cecilia in her turn became his antagonist by writing a secret counter-text an invented dystopia--Brutopia, which bares a striking resemblance to Tudor England, in all it's cruelty and brutality. It is a madhouse of grand proportions.
