Seattle Shakespeare Company Sets 2012-2013 Indoor Season

Artistic Director George Mount announced Seattle Shakespeare Company's plans for 2013-2014 that include the return of director Sheila Daniels and the company directing debut of Rosa Joshi and Victor Pappas.

"'Know thy self' is the unifying theme I've used for planning the season," said Mount. "The stories, themes or characters in each of the four shows next season illustrate either a lack of, or a loss of self-awareness, and in some, the concept could be considered a good piece of advice."

Seattle Shakespeare Company's indoor season for 2013-2014 starts with Mount directing Shakespeare's charming romance Much Ado About Nothing. A vainglorious monarch is forced to reconcile with his own shortcomings as a leader in Richard II and it will be directed by Rosa Joshi. Victor Pappas will stage the company's first production of a play by Oscar Wilde, the comedy The Importance of Being Earnest. The harrowing and heartbreaking tragedy King Lear rounds out the season and will be directed by Sheila Daniels.

Season tickets subscription packages are now on sale and range from $72 to $152 for all four indoor productions. Season ticket subscription packages can be purchased by calling the ticket office at (206) 733-8222. Single tickets will be on sale in September.
