What Horizon
November 14-15, WestCo Cafe
By Percy Liftin-Harris '28
​
In 1830s Paris, a group of young revolutionaries take to the streets, but they can’t shake the feeling that they’ve done this all before… In What Horizon, an original stage adaptation of Victor Hugo’s Les Misérables, nine friends build a barricade in the hopes of overthrowing the French monarchy. While preparing for the oncoming attacks, they reflect on their years of friendship and the experiences that brought them here. As their deaths start to seem inevitable, they wonder if their sacrifice will be worth it or if their memory is doomed to fade into obscurity.

Pericles

December 5-6, WestCo Cafe
By William Shakespeare
​
In this post-apocalyptic reimagining of Shakespeare’s Pericles, the world has collapsed into scarcity and ruin, kingdoms splintered into hostile enclaves, and the sea itself remains the most dangerous passage between them. Pericles, a wandering survivor and strong but inexperienced leader, flees after uncovering a tyrannical king’s dark secret, beginning a journey across a broken landscape and treacherous waters. His travels bring him through devastated courts and fragile communities, where violence, corruption, and hunger threaten to consume all that remains. Along the way, Pericles finds love and briefly builds a new life, only to be cast back into exile by storms and loss. Years pass in grief and silence, until an unexpected reunion forces memory, hope, and humanity back into view. What begins as a tale of flight and survival becomes a story of resilience, renewal, and the fragile possibility of rebuilding in the aftermath of catastrophe.​​
