The Winter's Tale
Merry Wives of Windsor
The Winter's Tale
Aug. 7,9,11,13,15,17
This production of The Winter’s Tale is set in the world of today; a world of privilege, cellphones and social media. One of Shakepeare's last plays The Winters Tale begins with a couple, Leontes and Hermione, who seem to have everything: money, beauty, love, passion. Their son is thriving and and Hermione is pregnant again. Their future appears glowing with glorious possibility until Leontes, is suddenly taken over with a mad jealousy, an image in his mind he can't get out which eats away at him and everything he holds dear. After "Exit pursied by bear", the most famous Shakespeare stage direction in the cannon, the play jumps 16 years to a Bohemian paradise filled with love, laughter and song. The play's two tonally different sections remind us of the randomness of life, a life that jumps from tragedy to comedy and back to tragedy again exploring the themes of rage, jealousy, loss, redemption, forgiveness and rebirth.
MERRY WIVES OF WINDSOR
Aug. 6,8,10,14,16,18
Set in the 18th Century in France, this comedy was written for Queen Elizabeth I, when she wanted to see a play with Sir Falstaff in Love. The play takes place when Falstaff decides to fix his financial woe by seducing the wives of two wealthy merchants. The wives find he sent them identical letters and take revenge by playing tricks on Falstaff when he comes calling. With the help of their husbands and friends, the wives play one last trick in the woods to put Falstaff's mischief to an end.
