Shakespeare at the Mysterium: Four Plays by the Bard Presented Outdoors

Full Price:: $20.00
Our Price:: $10.00

Mysterium presents an exciting summer Shakespeare Festival with four immortal plays by the Bard presented al fresco in the courtyard. Bring lawn chairs, a picnic dinner, drinks and a blanket and settle in for a classic tale of comedy, romance or tragedy. The festival kicks off June 9-24 with The Taming of the Shrew, Shakespeare's battle-of-the-sexes tale of the feisty Katherine and the bachelor Petruchio who knows just how to "tame her," which he must do if Kate's sister Bianca is also to get a husband. Next up (June 30-July 15) is the darkly comic Merchant of Venice (Beach) which finds Shylock, Antonio and Portia warring over a pound of flesh in present day Venice Beach. Director Marla Ladd infuses the tragedy of Othello (July 21-Aug. 5) with the Steampunk influence, using bits of science fiction, fantasy, alternate history, horror, and speculative fiction to recount the tragic story of the Moorish general Othello who is tricked by the villainous Iago into believing his wife Desdemona is unfaithful. Finally, Much Ado About Nothing (Aug. 11-26), Shakespeare's romantic comedy of the mismatched couple Beatrice and Benedick, is relocated to 1950s Havana, a "Latin Las Vegas" of nightclubs, drugs and, of course, love.

It was well done for a small theatre group.

The venue was quite small so the props and back drops were minimal. The dancing appeared crowd and chaotic on stage, the show would have been greatly improved with a better choreographer. The ensemble voices meshed well together and it was very enjoyable to hear the cast sing together.

My wife and I saw a Broadway touring company perform this musical 20+ years ago and loved it. Wanted to bring the kids to their first musical so we tried this. Staff was extremely friendly. It is a small, intimate venue which was really nice. On our way to the event, we listened to the soundtrack. I guess the best compliment came from my daughter who said that the show/singers sounded a lot like the soundtrack. Overall, very impressed.
