Daughters, Wives, Mothers: What do you become when who you are expected to be cannot exist? Who can you turn to? And what does necessity force you into?

Two of Shakespeare’s most iconic female characters, Lady Macbeth and Ophelia, each arrive at a pivotal moment, in their stories and the larger story at hand. And yet, neither are seen by the audience during these moments. This time, they are. A joint play made of two solo acts, Daughters, Wives, Mothers explores the weight of grief, the respite of girlhood, and the torment of madness through the eyes of these two legendary literary figures. What turns Lady Macbeth mad? And what really happens to Ophelia by the riverbank?

The 2025-2026 Amalgamation Season Announcement is here!!! We are so excited to be producing these three plays and to be bringing new life to old works, as well as new works to life! And in three different locations! This season will include a retelling of a classic Greek myth, a new look at two of Shakespeare’s most famous female characters, and a brand new play based on our current world. Read below to learn more about each show:

(& Medea): She lived a life before the tragedy. It's time we hear about it. In a timeless and poetic retelling of Euripides’ infamous play, a Greek chorus guides us through the details of Medea’s life and love. In this version, we get to know her for who she was before she committed an act that would become the defining moment of her narrative forever.

Accompanied by the sounds and movements of water, we set out to reconstruct the image of a woman history has deemed purely a villain. We set out to offer her the things she was never truly given: context, history, and her love story.

Original Show: Original Show: Inspired by the long and beloved tradition of Too Much Light Makes the Baby Go Blind (30 Plays in 60 Minutes), Amalgamation embarks on the journey of creating a brand new, audience driven hour long interactive experience. We’ll laugh together, cry together, and collaborate together as we try to understand what connects us all, especially in times where our inclination is to grow further apart.
