The New Collectives M4M--presented by IRT Theater
IN RESIDENCE: April 16  May 13, 2019

To whom should I complain? Did I tell this, Who would believe me?  

Vienna is in chaos and every citizen is under surveillance. When the city finds itself in the hands of a new leader aiming to crush every unsavory impulse, how can order be restored and who will be believed when no one is what they seem?

M4M, a modern reimagining of Shakespeares Measure for Measure, is a exploration of lust, power and corruption, where everyone is willing to gamble their morality, risk their soul for sin, and sacrifice the innocent in the name of justice.

The New Collectives is a New York based theatre and film collective. The company took shape in February 2014 while working on The Witches, a four person adaptation of Macbeth. After a successful workshop production in August 2014, The New Collectives was formed in January 2015. Our mission is to create new, intimate, innovative works drawing inspiration from classic plays, to develop contemporary work, and to cultivate community through outreach and education programming. In July 2015, The New Collectives ran a successful week long Shakespeare summer camp in Brooklyn, forming our education branch, The Young Collectives. The Young Collectives has expanded its education programing to include professional development workshops, in-school workshops, and holiday Shakespeare camps, in addition to our Shakespeare summer camps. In October 2015, The New Collectives, in association with Wandering Bark Theatre Company, produced a full production of The Witches, at The Access Theatre in NYC. In August 2016, TNC brought the world premiere of Sam Gooleys Steve Got Raped. to the New York International Fringe Festival. The 2017 Season consisted of three full productions: Buyers Remorse, a one woman show by company member Mara Gannon, produced at the FRIGID Festival; The Occasion of Existence, an original dance theatre piece based on the book Einsteins Dreams; and Brendan Kennellys modern translation of The Trojan Women. In Mach 2018, The New Collectives was honored to be part of IRTs 3B Residency program. While in residency at IRT, they produced the world premiere production of Life Brief & Glorious by Bryn Manion and developed three new pieces - THIS an ensemble built full length play by Co-Op Theatre East artists Laura Iris Hill, Robert A. K. Gonyo, and Anna Savant, Zodiac Math A one woman millennial siren song by Elizabeth May, and my favorite flower. a new full length play by Arika Larson, as part of Daily Development Workshop. The rest of the 2018 season consisted a reading of Resident Dramaturg Taylor Beidlers new play, Groundswell and a full production of Zodiac Math at MITU580.

The New Collectives company members are Giverny Petitmermet, Sarah Moore, Sam Leichter, Justin Ivan Brown, Dan Morrison, Taylor Beidler, Erin Maxon, and Mara Gannon.
