LOVE & MISDIRECTION
BY W. SHAKESPEARE
AN ARRANGEMENT BY LAUREN GO
“The course of true love never did run smooth.”
This fall, we bring three of Shakespeare’s most beloved comedies to life as fast-paced, intimate re-imaginings for the stage. Each piece will be directed by a different artist and performed by the same ensemble cast, transforming across three distinct worlds of love, disguise, wit, and delightful chaos.
Three Shakespeare comedies. Three directors. One fearless ensemble.
