Celebrating its 37th year, San Francisco Shakespeare Festival brings its performance of A Midsummer Night’s Dream to Downtown Redwood City for 3 weekends in August! Shakespeare in the Park will offer 3 evening shows on Saturdays and 3 late afternoon shows on Sundays, while providing an opportunity to see high quality, professional theater in the relaxing outdoor setting of Sequoia Campus, free of charge. Treat yourself to some Shakespeare this August, for a moment that is sure to please.
As in other comedies written during the reign of Queen Elizabeth, As You Like It celebrates a brave woman who pursues her own destiny in defiance of cultural norms. Like Olivia in Twelfth Night, Rosalind dresses as a man in order to outsmart the patriarchal obstacles of her world. As a typical destination for many of Shakespeare’s comedies, the forest magnifies and distorts the problems of civilization to comic proportions only to resolve them for the protagonists’ reentry into the normal world at the play’s end.
Free Shakespeare in the Park began in 1983, with its debut production of The Tempest in Golden Gate Park, San Francisco. It is now one of the major free Shakespeare programs in the nation. Free Shakespeare in the Park provides an opportunity for everyone to see high quality, professional theater at no cost.
Saturday, August 10, 17 & 24 • 7:00pm
Sunday, August 11, 18 & 25 • 4:00pm
