Seattle Shakespeare Company is gearing up for a summer of Shakespeare with its Wooden O free, outdoor plays - Much Ado About Nothing and Othello - which will run July 8 through August 1. Sheila Daniels will direct Much Ado About Nothing featuring husband and wife actors Hans Altwies and Amy Thone as the bickering lovers Benedick and Beatrice. Vanessa Miller stages Othello with George Mount as Iago and Chiara Motely as Desdemona.
Both plays will perform in park venues throughout King County. A full schedule of dates and venues will be announced at a later date. All performances are free and open to the public. Donations are heartily encouraged."I'm excited about how the Wooden O season is coming together," says George Mount, Director of Outdoor and Touring Performances. "The spirit of Wooden O has always been about having an extended family of artists come together to perform outdoors. It's wonderful to welcome back Sheila and Vanessa to helm these two shows and to have Hans and Amy onstage together in such well suited parts. It's going to be a fun summer."2010 Outdoor Season
