Coming Attraction

While searching for information and tickets for Wittenberg, I discovered that the Dane is making another appearance in the Richmond area.  The Henley Street Theatre and Richmond Shakespeare are producing Hamlet in their 2014-2015 season.  The information below is from the press release detailing the season.

HAMLET by William Shakespeare
The Richmond Shakespeare Festival at Agecroft Hall
July 2 – July 26, 2015

We are honored to be joined for this production by visionary theatre artist Lisa Wolpe, who directs and stars in our ground-breaking all-female production of Hamlet. Inspired by the theatrical practice of Shakespeare’s own time, we bring you the first single-gender production in the history of the Richmond Shakespeare Festival—played entirely by a cast of women! Renowned for her award-winning work as Producing Artistic Director of the Los Angeles Women’s Shakespeare Company, Wolpe will lead the company in a passionate, moving, visceral production of Shakespeare’s greatest work.

“Wolpe is one of the great stage actors of our generation who breathes life into Shakespeare’s words as though they were dredged from her own soul.”   – SHAKESPEARE IN LA

As fate would have it, I was at Agecroft Hall the next day for a visit and tour.  (It is well worth the trip!)  Although the play is far in the future, it is not too early to begin making arrangements to be there.
