To follow up his resounding artistic successes of the 2009 season, Shakespeare Santa Cruz Artistic Director Marco Barricelli announces the 2010 season with a slate of three plays exploring themes of love in all of its ramifications.... from first blush, to wrenching jealousy, to familial dysfunction of the highest order.
Mr. Barricelli continues to build upon SSC's reputation for producing inventive interpretations of Shakespearean plays while introducing SSC audiences to more contemporary works by American playwrights. In the selection of his third season, Mr. Barricelli states:
"It is terribly important to me in building my third season during these economically challenging times that we continue to focus on quality and not take a safe road into theatrical malaise. The boldness of our choices remain paramount; adventuresome offerings that continue to push our capabilities, challenge our audiences, and dig deep into everyone's souls ... these are the markers I used to guide me in selecting this splendid season."
Among the intimate redwoods in the outdoor Sinsheimer-Stanley Glen, SSC will present two contrasting plays by William Shakespeare, the bittersweet, romantic comedy Love's Labour's Lost and a masterpiece of revenge,Othello. The indoor Theater Arts Mainstage will be the venue for this drama of personality and political intrigue:The Lion in Winter by James Goldman. All three plays will be performed in repertory from July 20 through August 29, 2010. Nothing less than men and women at their best, and worst....
