Four friends and lovers. The promise of youth. A world in pieces.
Driven by voluptuous music and fanciful silent films, the haunting memories of artist Max Baumann take us on a passionate ride down the twisted rails of history, from pre-war Paris to the battlefields of WWI, the Weimar Republic, 1950s New York and the present day.

Lyrics by Peter Mills Music and Book by Peter Mills and Cara Reichel Directed by Cara Reichel

In the tradition of Illyria, Prospect once again presents an accessible Shakespearean adventure for modern-day audiences.
