    Director Hilerre Kirsch says, “It has been an absolute pleasure to work with this band of remarkably committed young artists who so eagerly jumped at this opportunity to unwrap the specialized techniques of producing a Shakespeare play. Before school even ended last year, the actors engaged in sword fighting masterclasses in preparation for auditions, then spent their summer memorizing lines and practicing their fight skills.”

    “Whether you’ve seen this play before or if it’s your first time,” she continues, “I hope that you will leave the theatre with a greater understanding of why this play, and Shakespeare’s work in general, continue to be staged every night in places around the globe, and are considered the greatest of all time.”
