ELEANOR
A Medieval Opera
April 24, 2026 @ 7:30 pm // New Stage Performance Space // Manhattan, NY
Join us at the intimate New Stage Performance Space for a semi-staged production with custom projections.
This performance at the experimental New Stage Performance Space on the Upper West Side dives into the story of Eleanor, who was arrested in London in 1394 while presenting as a woman. We only have one surviving document about Eleanor’s life, so we can’t know her full story – but this piece uses that fragment as a starting point to explore identity, gender, and belonging in the medieval world.
Content warning: Eleanor tells the real-life story of a sex worker, and features frank language about sex as well as mimed sexual acts. This show might not be appropriate for younger audiences (we recommend that attendees be 18+), or those uncomfortable with more explicit themes.
All tickets are general admission.
Supporter = $50, General = $30, Student/Artist/Economic Need = $15
