Theater of Others Takes New Look at A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM
Arguably Shakespeare's most popular work, A Midsummer Night's Dream, is in performance somewhere in the world every day of the year. A half-dozen productions have graced Bay Area stages in the past year alone. But leave it to Theater of Others to come up with a fresh and wildly entertaining look at this classic comedy. Director Alison Sacha Ross takes a multi-genre approach, where each group of characters - lovers, magical kingdom, rude mechanicals - play their scenes in a different theatrical style to advance the age-old story.
Theater of Others Updates 400-Year-Old Comedy THE ROARING GIRL 6/16- 7/2
Theater of Others continues its fearless foray into the plays of Shakespeare and his contemporaries with Thomas Middleton and Thomas Dekker's 1611 comedy, The Roaring Girl, or Moll Cutpurse. Moll is a dramatization of the life of Mary Frith, a carouser, cross-dresser, pickpocket, and street brawler in the lower depths of 17th century London. Gaby Schneider directs a cast of fourteen at the Theater of Others' home, the Kelly Cullen Community Auditorium, 220 Golden Gate Avenue in San Francisco. The Roaring Girl, or Moll Cutpurse runs Thursdays through Sundays, June 16-July 2. As with all Theater of Others productions, admission is Pay-What-You-Will.
