Torn Page Theater in association with the W.B. Yeats Society will present the APT 929 production of The Only Jealousy of Emer. Performances began January 18 and will continue through January 28 as part of Origin's First Irish Theatre Festival.

The former home of celebrated film and theater stars Rip Torn and Geraldine Page transforms into an abode where ancient Irish entities wield their wills and desires, ritualized with stylistic influences from the Japanese Noh theater. The site-specific and immersive rendition of Yeats's play is directed by Ray Yeates.

The company is made up of Ben Becher, Kolbe Handal, Elissa Middleton, Josefina Scaro, Will Warren, and Lenard Petit. Ernesto Linnemann, Anthony Subietas, and Sam Falconi make up the design team, with Clark Middleton, Alex Siladi, Marina Montesanti, and Ernesto Linnemann producing.
