Final Performances of The Old Globe Shakespeare Festival, 9/27 - 9/30

The Shakespeare Festival at the Old Globe Theatre is drawing to an end; catch the last performances of RICHARD III and AS YOU LIKE IT before they are gone for good!

Shakespeare’s comedy AS YOU LIKE IT is full of flirting, false identities, friendship and tom foolery as we follow the story of Rosalind as she flees her Uncle’s tyranny, taking her cousin Celia and the court Jester with her.  Together these three find safety and love in the Forest of Arden.  But can merriment, witty repartee and love, overcome falsehoods, jealousy and the madness of the forest?

Final performances of “AS YOU LIKE IT will be performed September 28^th and September 30^th at 8pm at the Lowell Davies Festival Stage.  This show runs two hours and fifty minutes with one fifteen minute intermission. 

RICHARD III is one of Shakespeare’s most famous plays as it paints a picture of a diabolical and Machiavellian villain. Richard wants to seize the English crown and he doesn’t care who stands in his way. Shakespeare draws a character that is so charismatic, as he seduces, betrays and kills to become king that is has influenced the way history remembers Richard III.

Don’t miss Jay Whittaker as Richard and the rest of The Cast in their last performances! Final shows are Thursday, September 27th and Saturday, September 29th at 8pm at the Lowell Davies Festival Theatre. This show runs at three hours including one fifteen minute intermission.
