Maria Irene Fornes’s "Mud" portrays the characters Mae, Lloyd, and Henry
trapped in poverty. Their struggles vary between a desire for language,
knowledge, power and dreams. Their existence is functional, and the
violence that emerges inarticulate.

Mud contain adult language, description and depiction of sexual
situations, verbal and physical abuse, adult humor, and gun violence.
For mature audiences only.
Having received a magic tollbooth, Milo decides to drive through it in
his toy car, where he is transported to the Kingdom of Wisdom. Tasked
with rescuing two exiled princesses from the Castle in the Air, Milo
and his two companions go on a quest that gives him a newfound sense
of admiration for learning. Juster's story uses the need for a love
of education against a backdrop of adventure to love an otherwise boring
life.

Viola is the one behind the disguise. Shakespeare's classic gender-bending
comedy plays on the humor of disguise and deception in a complicated
love triangle.
