ESU Denver at the Colorado Shakespeare Festival – Shakespeare in Love
August 1 @ 7:30 pm
NEW DISCOUNTED TICKET PRICE IS $25 PER PERSON, $20 FOR TEACHERS.
“Love knows nothing of rank or riverbank. It will spark between a queen
and the poor vagabond who plays the king…”
Penniless and paralyzed by writer’s block, young Will Shakespeare finds his muse in Viola de Lesseps, the beautiful daughter of a wealthy merchant and passionate lover of poetry and theater. Betrothed to the power- and money-hungry Lord Wessex, Viola surrenders to passion with the playwright, inspiring his famous tale of star-crossed lovers Romeo and Juliet. But this clever, contemporary stage production of the Oscar-winning film is no tragedy. It’s loaded with laughs — and Easter eggs — for Shakespeare lovers of all ages.
