Photo Flash: The Old Globe's Summer Shakespeare Festival

Shakespeare Festival will feature two works by Shakespeare, Twelfth Night and Coriolanus, along with Edmond Rostand's celebrated classic, Cyrano de Bergerac. The three productions will be performed in nightly rotation in the Globe's outdoor Lowell Davies Festival Theatre June 13 - September 27, 2009.

Old Globe Resident-Artistic Director Darko Tresnjak, who recently helmed the Globe's acclaimed 2008 productions of All's Well That Ends Well and The Women, will direct Coriolanus and Cyrano de Bergerac, while Paul Mullins (The Merry Wives of Windsor, Macbeth) will return to direct Twelfth Night.

The Old Globe's acclaimed "Classics Up Close" series continues with Arthur Miller's The Price. A protective wife watches as her husband, a policeman nearing retirement, and his brother, a successful brain surgeon, face the truth about themselves when they meet to sell their late father's possessions. To survive in a family battered by loss and misfortune, who has paid the greater price? Starring Dominic Chianese, Andy Prosky, James Sutorius and Leisa Mather. Playing in The Old Globe Arena Stage at James S. Copley Auditorium in the San Diego Museum of Art, May 9 - June 14.

From the co-creator and Executive Producer of the hit HBO series "Big Love" comes Cornelia, an epic slice of history - welcome to Alabama, 1970, recently-divorced beauty queen Cornelia Folsom has her eye set on Governor George Wallace, and will do anything to be the next first lady of Alabama. But this is the South, and there's more than hanky-panky going on in this sweeping, provocative tale of sex, power, and bare-knuckled American politics. Starring Robert Foxworth, Melinda Page Hamilton and Beth Grant. For Mature Audiences. Playing in The Old Globe Theatre May 16 - June 21.
