'The Watch List' is a bluntly honest, chest-tightening, intense exploration of some of modern society's most pressing conversations about consent and morality."

"The Romeo Initiative" is, as playwright Trina Davies describes it, a mix of a romantic comedy and a spy thriller. The play is based on the real-life initiative during the Cold War for East German men to be trained specifically to woo West German women in order to obtain information and spy on the West.

The show runs until Feb. 15 at Persephone Theatre - check out the full preview to learn more!

"The Romeo Initiative" focuses on Karin, a West German secretary, and Markus, the “perfect man” spy sent from East Germany — and the uncertainty they feel toward each other.
