SUMMARY:Measure for Measure
DESCRIPTION:The Old Globe. \nJustice and desire collide in Shakespeare’s timeless tale of power and hypocrisy. When Vienna’s Duke suddenly disappears\, his morally rigid deputy Angelo takes control—determined to rid the city of vice. But when he condemns a young man to death and then propositions the man’s sister\, his actions reveal the cracks in his facade of authority. Filled with rich characters\, surprising twists\, and a comic group of seedy grifters on the make\, Measure for Measure explores who holds power\, who gets punished\, and what it truly means to be virtuous. \nFor tickets\, click here.

SUMMARY:The Book of Will
DESCRIPTION:The Book of Will is a play by Lauren Gunderson that features Shakespeare’s friends\, Henry Condell and John Heminges\, who collect and publish his plays after his death. Set in the 1620s\, they are motivated by a pirated\, poorly done version of Hamlet and the fear that the plays will be lost forever. The play is a fanciful\, funny\, and poignant celebration of friendship\, theatre\, and the struggle to preserve the plays of the First Folio and preserve the words that shaped their lives. \nDetails here.

SUMMARY:Now Thrive the Armorers
DESCRIPTION:Join Scott Farrell\, program director of Chivalry Today and head instructor with the San Diego Longsword medieval fencing program\, for a look into the language\, function\, and artistry of knightly armor in Shakespeare’s world. From the glory of Henry V\, to the supernatural apparitions of Hamlet\, to the treachery of Macbeth\, arms and armor appear over and over in Shakespeare’s works\, and a thorough understanding of the “visual language” of medieval and Renaissance armor lends a much deeper\, more nuanced understanding of many of his stories and characters.

SUMMARY:Rex v. Plantagenet: A Shakespeare Mock Trial and Talkback
DESCRIPTION:Our assumption is that King Richard III survives the Battle of Bosworth Field and is to stand trial. Although the new administration of King Henry VII has a variety of offenses to choose from\, Richard Plantagenet will be prosecuted only for the six most heinous acts of murder:  those of the Lords Hastings\, Rivers\, Grey\, and Vaughan\, and\, most horribly\, of his two minor nephews\, King Edward V\, aged 12\, and Richard\, Duke of York\, aged 9.   \nCharacters from the play will be called as witnesses. At the end\, the audience will serve as jury and decides the defendant’s fate.

SUMMARY:Shakespeare Character Workshop
DESCRIPTION:The San Diego Shakespeare Society is offering a unique opportunity for the dedicated student of the Bard to dig most deeply into the humanity of the plays. Rather than be satisfied with rote recitation of text\, this guided workshop will enable its participants to explore the characters intimately and to determine to what extent they may identify with them. \nWhich Shakespeare character are you? \nThe play Hamlet takes place in Denmark with a specific group of Danes\, but the drama of Hamlet is not bounded by time or place—it is universal. There are Hamlets from Shanghai to San Diego. The characters of the canon live in us\, and each person realizes these characters in unique and wonderful ways. This workshop will be a chance to share how you have identified with Shakespeare’s characters. \nBeforehand\, participants will be asked to think back over their lives as to which Shakespeare characters they have strongly empathized with and the reasons therefor. Do certain lines spin in your mind over and over again? Are there passages from Shakespeare you keep returning to? Try to write at least a paragraph about this and bring your “homework” to the workshop. Please copy and paste any memorable Shakespeare passages to your sheet and bring it to the gathering. \nHow it will work: \nWe will start with a “speed dating” event: Each person\, with their writing in hand\, has a few minutes to talk to the person in the opposite row\, and then they switch to the next person. At the end\, we can leave time for those who feel up to it to read off their personal observations or recite their favored passages for the entire group. \nAnd did we mention that it’s FREE!
