Something About a Bear
New play by Constance Congdon, commissioned by Theatre Novi Most. Inspired by Russian writer Evgeny Shvartz’s play An Ordinary Miracle, Something About a Bear is a contemporary fairy tale featuring a mischievous wizard, a bear turned into a man, a cross-dressing princess, an epic snowstorm and a hysterical tyrant king; it is a play about the exquisite and terrifying power of love and will delight and inspire audiences of all ages with its magic, humor and heart.
Picnic on the Battlefield
This play blends one act absurdist plays — Fernando Arrabal’s Picnic on the Battlefield (1961) and Slawomir Mrozek’s Enchanted Night (1952) — into one slapstick-funny and dead-serious narrative, with unique connections between the characters in both pieces.
Oldest Story in the World
Novi Most’s adaptation of the Epic of Gilgamesh is both a reliving of the great story of Gilgamesh and an examination of human limits as we experience them here and now. At the center of the story are essential questions of how to define, and live, a human life.
Delirium for Two

Outside of their cell-like home, the war rages, reaches an apocalyptic climax and gives way to a victory celebration. Yale Cabaret in 1998, East St Studios in Amherst MA 2000, invited to perform at ARTS NOW: Art in a Culture of Violence Conference at SUNY New Paltz 2005 and at the 2008 Minnesota Fringe Festival.
