The world of Itamar Moses’s Outrage encourages us to analyze our relationship to complacency. What does it mean to break the chains of complacency and fight for change? Through a historically fragmented lens, Outrage draws parallels between the fight for Athenian democracy, the power struggle of the Roman Catholic Church during the 16th century, and the harrowing rise of the Nazi party in the 20th century. It also touches on our ever-evolving relationship with technology. These junctures serve as powerful mirrors to our own contemporary world, both personal and societal.

Our talented cast and crew have worked tirelessly to bring this intricate tapestry of narratives to life on stage. I’m very proud of their work and excited for all of you to see them bring life to this world.
