ESU Denver at the Colorado Shakespeare Festival – Shakespeare in Love
August 1 @ 7:30 pm
“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.
We will meet for a picnic on the lawn by Norlin Quadrangle at 6:00 pm and curtain is at 7:30. Discounted tickets are $50 per person (full cost is $68.25 per person) for Orchestra 1 seats in the Mary Rippon Outdoor Theatre. Tickets will be held at Will Call under ESU Denver.
