Shakespeare and Company Announces Productions Performing From July to October

Shakespeare and Company has announced three new plays in the lineup from July until October. The mission of Shakespeare & Company is to deliver a sustainable, integrated, and vital program of Performance, Training, and Education for the audience, the artist, the Company, and the community. They embrace the classical ideals and visceral experience of Shakespeare's work: collaboration, commitment to language, physical prowess and the embodied voice.

Two men meet at a funeral. One knew the deceased; one did not. Benny is a loner with a wife and children, while Gil longs to fulfill his potential.

When Angelo is abruptly appointed to rule over a chaotic and debauched city, he restores order with repressive laws and an iron fist over licentiousness.

"To whom should I complain?" is all that young Isabella can utter when she finds herself the target of his abuse of power.

Coleman, and Kristen Moriarity, will be staged from Friday, September 23 to Sunday October 30 at 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m in the Elayne P. Bernstein Theatre.
