Richard II
by William Shakespeare
directed by Harry Wong III
July 10 - July 19
Not all the water in the rough rude sea can wash the balm off
from an anointed king ... |
Synopsis
Richard II, heir to an
ancient line of kings, rules England with a decadent arrogance.
When his rebel cousin Henry Bolingbroke lays claim to the
throne, Richard must come face to face with his own weaknesses.
In this lyrical and rarely-performed play, Shakespeare confronts
questions about the nature of power that still haunt us today.

Pericles
by William Shakespeare
directed by R. Kevin Doyle
July 24 - August 2
Time's the king of men ...
and gives them what he will,
not what they crave ... |
Synopsis
Pericles: Prince of Tyre is a romp of a play about the
titular Prince's search for a wife (whom he finds, then loses)
and, later, his daughter (whom he loses, then finds). Along the
way, there is a shipwreck, pirates, a kidnapping, treacherous
monarchs, a pageant of (Greek) knights, a sleazy brothel, and an
eccentric wizard. Pericles has long held a reputation as
one of Shakespeare's hidden gems.

Merry Wives
of Windsor
by William Shakespeare
directed by Tony Pisculli
August 14 - August
23
Wives may be merry
and yet honest too ... |
Synopsis
Falstaff, the
scene-stealing rogue from Henry IV, parts 1 & 2, is one
of Shakespeare's greatest comic inventions, and The Merry
Wives of Windsor (probably the closest Shakespeare ever got
to writing an episode of I Love Lucy) was supposedly
written at the specific request of Queen Elizabeth who wanted to
see "Falstaff in love."
Traditionally, Shakespeare's plays
were performed with an all-male cast. But tradition be damned!
We're doing it with an all-male cast because it's funnier that
way ...
Featuring original, live music from
Damned Spot Drums.
