WHERE ELIZABETHAN MEETS CONTEMPORARY
Looking at the Utah Shakespeare Festival’s 2017 season, you may already know several of our titles, including Romeo and Juliet and A Midsummer Night’s Dream. But there are two titles that may be less familiar: How to Fight Loneliness and William Shakespeare's Long Lost First Play (abridged). Their contemporary settings are not the only remarkable contrasts to the rest of our shows, but they also add a great deal of insight about humanity and about humor to our repertoire.
