For many San Diegans, their ability to understand and appreciate the wonders of the Bard during our Summer Shakespeare Festival has increased exponentially since they joined us for Thinking Shakespeare Live!, a 90-minute exploration of the language of Shakespeare led by the Globe?s Erna Finci Viterbi Artistic Director Barry Edelstein and assisted by three professional classical actors.
Following successful showings in the past several seasons and a special Folio Edition last summer, The Old Globe will offer a reprise on Saturday, May 20 - 11:00 AM
This special program, based on Edelstein?s book Thinking Shakespeare: A How-To Guide for Student Actors, Directors and Anyone Else Who Wants to Feel More Comfortable with the Bard, reveals a performer?s approach to Shakespearean language so audiences may easily understand the poetry of the Bard.
An ideal introduction to Shakespeare for families and young audiences as well as an exciting new look at the playwright for Bardophiles, Thinking Shakespeare Live! will take place on the Donald and Darlene Shiley Stage in the Old Globe Theatre, part of the Globe?s Conrad Prebys Theatre Center.
Tickets are currently available for subscribers and donors. They go on sale to the general public on Friday, April 28 - noon. Tickets are $15.00 for the general public and $10.00 for subscribers, donors, students and groups. Tickets can be purchased online on The Old Globe website, by phone at 619-23-GLOBE, or by visiting the box office at 1363 Old Globe Way in Balboa Park.
?San Diego?s Shakespeare audience is devoted to the Bard, and the Globe, one of the country?s great Shakespeare theatres, always looks for innovative ways to serve it,? said Edelstein. ?We created Thinking Shakespeare Live! to help our audience have fun while making new connections to Shakespeare, and we are pleased to bring it back this summer and make it a regular part of our program.?
Coinciding with The Old Globe?s 2017 Shakespeare Festival, Thinking Shakespeare Live! is a fast-paced, funny, and altogether fascinating guide to the language of the Bard. In this lively 90-minute program, Barry Edelstein, called by NPR ?one of the country?s leading Shakespeareans,? provides audiences a unique opportunity to learn the methods he imparts to professional actors in the rehearsal room.
As Edelstein and three skilled actors demonstrate these techniques live on stage, this entertaining behind-the-scenes look at the creative process offers a primer on the tools used to hear and understand Shakespeare. With humor and insight, Thinking Shakespeare Live! brings audiences into the intoxicating world of the Bard and shows how his masterful poetry can come to life for everyone.
