In the minimalist work Floating Brothel, all the world's a 3' x 6' platform. Within the liberating confines of the shrunken, Lecoq-inspired stage, this performance recounts the saga of three female convicts and their yearlong odyssey from the Dickens-documented slums of London to a dying all-male penal colony in New South Wales. Adapted from fascinating 18th-century accounts, the production eschews the traditional romantic depiction of the period in favor of a raw, stripped-down aesthetic; from the five ace thespians to the imaginative, multi-purpose props, each little gesture adds to the company's crackerjack interpretation of what might otherwise be one of history's shadowy footnotes.
