Hana Lass as Juliet, John Farage as Friar Laurence and Michael Place as Romeo in last year's Wooden O production of "Romeo and Juliet". (Seattle Shakespeare Company)
Summer seems so far away right now but it's time to get out your calendars and turn to July. That's when Shakespeare in the park returns.
Seattle Shakespeare Company announced today its Wooden O outdoor summer play schedule. Most of the free shows for "The Taming of the Shrew" and "Richard III" are in Seattle/King County but you'll be able to catch "Shrew" in Federal Way and Bonney Lake.
Here's how the company describes "Shrew":
With a sharp tongue and a volcanic temper, the headstrong Kate bows down to no man. But then a fortune-hunting suitor named Petruchio swaggers into town with a mischievous plan to reach her guarded heart. Through bickering and brawling their comic courtship is a no-holds-barred battle of the sexes that results in a love and understanding that neither one imagined.
Last year over 10,000 Bard lovers attended the summer shows.
The full performance schedule for "Richard III" and "The Taming of the Shrew" can be found at the company's website but here's the info for our local free "Shrew" shows:
Federal Way: 6:30 p.m., Wednesday July 22 at Steel Lake Park
Bonney Lake: 2 p.m., Sunday Aug. 2 at Allen York Park
