Maritime Plaza, sometimes known as Maritime Plaza Park, is a 2.1-acre (0.85 ha) elevated park and roof garden in San Francisco, California in the Financial District, in the U.S. state of California. Designed in 1967 by landscape architects Sasaki, Walker and Associates, it surrounds the One Maritime Plaza building. The park can be accessed from the ground level via staircases or via elevated walkways from adjacent Embarcadero Center on the south and apartment buildings on the north. The park is owned and operated by the San Francisco Recreation & Parks Department. Maritime Plaza is bordered by Washington Street on the north, Davis Street on the east, Clay Street on the south, and Battery Street on the west. Several pieces of the San Francisco Civic Art Collection are located in the plaza, including Standing Figure – Knife Edge by Henry Moore, Bronze Horse by Marino Marini, Bronze Icosaspirale by Charles O. Perry, and Limits of Horizon II by Jan Peter Stern. The central Peacock Fountain, sometimes referred to as the dandelion fountain, was designed by architect Robert Woodward.

The Eureka Theatre Company was an American repertory theatre group located in San Francisco, California. It was founded in 1972 as the Shorter Players by Chris Silva, Robert Woodruff and Carl Lumbly. In 1974 its name was changed to the Eureka Theatre. In October 1981 the company was staging David Edgar's The Jail Diary of Albie Sachs when their space in the basement of the Trinity Methodist Church burned in an arson attack.: 27  By 1990 the company had moved to an industrial building at 2730 16th Street in the Mission.: 65 The company is noted because in 1986 Oskar Eustis, then its dramaturg,: 26  and Tony Taccone, then its artistic director,: 25  commissioned a play from Tony Kushner.: 33  Eustis had seen Kushner's play A Bright Room Called Day in New York.: 31  The contract specified it should run no more than 2 hours, and include songs.: 34  With help from a $50,000 grant from the National Endowment for the Arts,: 34  it eventually turned into Angels in America, two three-and-a-half hour plays with no songs. In 1991 the company staged the world premiere of the first part, Millennium Approaches and staged readings of the second part, Perestroika, which was still being written.: 67 The cost of staging Angels in America, about $250,000, ended the Eureka's career as a production company,: 78  although they continued to present plays, In 1998 the company took over the Gateway Theater in Jackson Square.
