Shakespeare’s Sonnets


From the director that brought you the sold out Shakespeare’s Women and The Compleat Wrks of Wllm Shkspr, comes Shakespeare’s Sonnets. Four actresses will be presenting the text in the classic form while five singer-songwriters will be rocking the stage with their modern-day songs based on the sonnets. This completely fresh take on the Bard is sure to excite even non-Shakespeare fans.
