AS YOU LIKE IT, Directed by Angie Higgins Set against the romantic background of Regency England, Shady Shakespeare takes you on a journey of this classic pastoral comedy through the eyes of a young Jane Austen. All the world is indeed a stage as Jane opens a music box that manifests into a world of feuding brothers, banished dukes, and pinning lovers. Come watch as Jane follows one of Shakespeare's most notable heroines, Rosalind, wit and woe her way to a perfect Fairytale ending! RICHARD III, Directed by Ross Arden Harkness Richard III is the ultimate tale of the pursuit of absolute power and how that power corrupts. Such a tale is timeless, but Richard is also a distinctly British tale and its historic significance (the end of the Plantagenet reign and the ascention of the House of Tudor) cannot be underplayed. We will be setting our story in its correct historical period giving our audience a glimpse of the England of Richards time. Also we will be giving our audience Richard himself. While historians debate how he is portrayed there is no doubt that Shakespeare has given us one of the most unforgettable stage villains of all time... And everyone loves a good Villain!
