Artistic Director Christopher Gaze is pleased to announce the playbill for Bard on the Beach Shakespeare Festival’s 18th season which runs May 31 through September 23, 2007.
In the 520-seat Mainstage tent, the Festival will present THE TAMING OF THE SHREW, Shakespeare’s boisterous comedy where ill-tempered Kate and resolute Petruchio go head-to-head in a riotous battle of the sexes. Stratford’s award-wining Miles Potter returns after a five year hiatus to direct …Shrew and situates it in the 1880s Wild West, a colourful world of Macho men and strong-minded women.
Playing in repertory with …Shrew is ROMEO AND JULIET, the famous tale of star-crossed lovers caught up in the violence of a family feud. Bard’s imaginative Artistic Associate Dean Paul Gibson places this passionate and tragic tale in a simple contemporary setting that incorporates ballet-like silhouettes and marries the words with movement.
