Shakespeare’s hilarious play about taming a shrewish wife plays on San Juan Island — last weekend at Roche Harbor
From Helen Machin-Smith, StageLeft
Just a reminder that this weekend and next are the last chances to see William Shakespeare’s The Taming of the Shrew on the Roche Harbor set.
Shakespeare’s always popular, often controversial, love story about two social misfits who fall in love. Set in Italy in the 1950’s, this promises to be a riotous romp, as laughter abounds, disguises confuse and true love emerges – via a decidedly quirky route!
StageLeft Director Helen Machin-Smith notes, “After Roche Harbor, we move to 1062 Wold Rd and play Fridays – Sundays at 8 p.m. through August 18th.
“Since Island Stage Left offers all its performances free of charge, it does not sell tickets or take reservations (unless you are a member of the Star Circle), although donations are always appreciated and are essential to the longevity of the company.
“Seating is on a first come, first served basis and arriving at least 15 minutes early is always a good idea especially for the indoor shows.
“In the summer, our outdoor performances have chairs set up, and also space for you to bring your own chairs if you prefer, plus space for blankets and sleeping bags close to the stage. The request to bring warm clothes and blankets is to keep you warm, as the temperature can drop 20 degrees on some summer nights.”
