The Furies is the final play of Aeschylus's Oresteia. The first ever courtroom drama, this text explores themes of vengeance and justice, (dis)empowerment, and the function of legal systems within a larger democracy. Culminating in a trial presided over by the goddess Athena, we are excited to seek contemporary wisdom in this foundational theatre text.

First produced as a Broadway musical in 1966, reimagined multiple times since then on stage and screen, Cabaret arrives at Tufts in Winter 2025. Set in the waning years of the Weimar Republic on the verge of Hitler’s catastrophic rise, Cabaret entertains, engages, and terrifies. At a volatile moment in our nation and the world, how will it speak to you? What lessons are there for us about the spread of fascism, bigotry, and complacency? Can this iconic musical inspire constructive dialogue on our campus and help us find common ground? Come to our Cabaret and see!
