The Debate Society creates new plays through the collaboration of
Hannah Bos, Paul Thureen and Oliver Butler. This development of new
work relies on the writing and adaptation of actors Ms. Bos and Mr.
Thureen combined with the rehearsal experimentation and direction
of Mr. Butler. The trio began their work together with A Thought
About Raya, developed from the writings of Russian absurding
Daniil Kharms. The play ran to sold-out houses and critical acclaim
in New York City in April 2004. The Debate Society will tour A
Thought About Raya to Scotland and various American theatres
after developing The Snow Hen.
