Shakespeare Showcase
Directed by Jon Ciccarelli
David Brearly Middle School - February 13, 2004
Just in time for the holiday that celebrates true love with flowers and chocolate hearts, Hudson Shakespeare serves up a Valentine that only the Bard could deliver. Starting off 2004 with the first of many showcases, HSC presented selections from some of Shakespeare's most immortal and dysfunctional couples for our debut in Kenilworth, NJ. This showcase offered up different takes on what it means to be in love. From the famous balcony scene of two star crossed teenagers professing their love in the shadows to the grotesque Richard III, who successfully woos the wife of the man he just killed, Shakespeare Valentine's celebrates love Shakespeare Style, where all that glisters is not gold and the most successful relationship is a between a pair of murderers. Showcase scenes include selections from Romeo and Juliet, Hamlet, Taming of the Shrew, Much Ado About Nothing, Richard III, Macbeth and Shakespeare's Sonnets.
