Shakespeare in LA

Barry Edelstein brings Shakespeare back indoors at the Globe for the first time in over a decade when he directs Shakespeare’s The Winter’s Tale, featuring original music by Michael Torke, February 8 – March 16, 2014. Shakespeare’s sublime late masterpiece sweeps breathtakingly from jealousy, rage, and loss to redemption, reconciliation, and, finally, wonder. Along the way it visits kings and queens, a singing street hustler, dancing shepherds, a most extraordinary statue – and one notoriously hungry bear. A profound exploration of the simple miracles in life and the forces that shape them: love, friendship, and forgiveness.There will be a FREE Insights Seminar featuring a panel of artists from the show on Monday, February 10 at 7:00 pm and a Post-Show Forum with cast members February 18 and 25 and March 5. Tickets start at $29. Opening night is February 13. www.theoldglobe.org
