Special Workshop fresh from Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre!

By William Shakespeare

Restaged by Barbara Marchant and Kevin Kittle


Performed by Mason Gross BFA acting students who recently completed their junior year training abroad at Shakespeare’s Globe in London. This project is the culmination of their year of classical training in England.

Mistaken identities, banishments, and imagined infidelities are just the starting point for this rich Shakespearean feast which combines tragic, comic, and late romantic elements.
