Double Take features two new plays by St. Louis playwrights:
The Pavement Kingdom
by Courtney Bailey
Charon is a clinic escort who guides patients safely through the parking lot at an abortion clinic. She's working on her comedy routine.
The Bigfoot Diaries
by Eric Satterfield
The peaceful facade of a small town is shattered when a teenager is brutally attacked just days before the annual Bigfoot Festival. As the investigation unfolds, the townspeople are forced to confront not only the legendary monster in the woods, but also the unsettling darkness within their own community.
The play fearlessly challenges societal norms and expectations as it unravels the inspiring journey of Gabby and Leo. These two individuals embark on a profound path toward self-love and self-acceptance, overcoming trauma while wrestling with the societal perceptions of high BMI. Their destinies intersect, sparking an undeniable connection that leads to a whirlwind romance. However, as they navigate their relationship and face hurdles, they come to realize that their greatest journey isn't just about loving each other, but about learning to love themselves.
Years before Hamlet uttered, "To be or not to be," things were not yet rotten in the State of Denmark. In Elsinore, an inspired prequel to Shakespeare's classic, both family and kingdom are poisoned by power, lust, envy, betrayal, and murder. Elsinore imagines the years before Hamlet avenges his fathers' murder - allowing the audience to experience the precise moment before Hamlet begins.
