Sonnet Repertory Theatre and Matchbook Productions present their daring interpretation of William Shakespeare’s Richard II.
Re-imagined as a tale told by Nineteenth Century artists railing against Imperialism, Sonnet Rep and Matchbook’s Richard II brings an uncommon aspect to the play: flight.
Eight actors, four low-flying trapezes, and live music combine to raise the language of Shakespeare to new heights.
Twelfth Night at the Theatre at St. Clement’s
July 23 - August 1
SRT presents Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night, directed by Michael Lluberes, at the Theatre at St. Clement’s.
Michael Lluberes brings a new vision of Twelfth Night to the Sonnet Rep stage. By turns sad and hilarious, this Twelfth Night is an exploration of love in all its forms: obsessive, beautiful, sexy, manic and mad.
Performances July 23 - August 1. More details to come and tickets on sale soon…
