Miss Evers’ Boys tells the story of Nurse Eunice Evers and the men in her charge, who, between 1934 and 1970, unwittingly participated in a US Health Department study on the effects of syphilis in the Negro male. The play was inspired by the book “Bad Blood” by James Jones, which explores the ethics of this clinical study and looks at how ideas about race and the perceptions of racial “differences” affect the quality, availability, and nature of healthcare in the US.

Set in Great Britain’s idyllic Suffolk countryside, Benjamin Britten’s Albert Herring follows the story of a bashful and unsuspecting shopkeeper’s assistant who finds himself unexpectedly thrust into the spotlight. When the village’s annual May Queen ceremony lacks a virtuous candidate, Albert Herring is crowned the first-ever May King–a decision that sets the stage for a series of antics and unexpected transformations.

Filled with eccentric characters, a clever libretto and a touch of mischief, Britten’s opera explores societal norms, self-discovery and the power of individuality.
