Our fourth annual Shakespeare in the schools program featured a unique take on a familiar Shakespeare staple, an female production. Shaking up the convention in Shakespeare's time of all male shows. The production was set in an artificial time period mixing hints of Roman dress with modern dress and but with period Roman weaponry. The production was one of our most well received and talked about showings.
