Description
An hilarious, tongue-in-cheek sex farce balances a cutthroat tale of corruptive power as these two shows open in Pomona College?s beautiful Greek style amphitheater. The productions will be performed in repertory, alternating each night with the same cast. Set in the late 1960?s, Shakespeare?s works are given a fresh, colorful perspective. We invite you to bring food and libations to enjoy under the stars as you watch. Come at 5PM on Saturdays & Sundays for the Midsummer Shakespeare Festival, featuring local artisans and entertainment!
About THE MERRY WIVES OF WINDSOR
Two married women (and their money) are pursued by the rotund and rambunctious Falstaff. But the ladies see right through his plots, and form a few of their own. Mischief and hysteria follow, with lovers and lechers chasing after what they truly desire.
About MACBETH
Macbeth, a Scottish king, is spurred by a visit from three sinister but seductive women, who hail him as the highest ruler in the country, a title he knows he does not hold?yet. Shamelessly pressed by his power-hungry wife, Macbeth leaves a bloody path in his wake as he charges for the throne, leaving the question asked: what, or who, is worth the price of power?
