Tickets for all plays continue to be among the most reasonably priced entertainment alternatives in the area, as Sweet Tea Shakespeare embraces its purpose to make theater accessible to everyone.
A chance to see all four plays at a discounted price has been made available for those looking for a genuinely entertaining spring and summer event.
“The Illusion” and “Shakespeare in Love” will run consecutively in Fayetteville April through early July. “A Little Princess” will run in June and “A Midsummer Night's Dream” will run in late July, both in Raleigh. To see all four shows, it’s only $50. For students of any age, it is $25.
Sweet Tea Shakespeare’s production of Tony Kushner’s “The Illusion” will sprinkle some magic across Fayetteville. This comedy drama, which is an adaptation of “L’Illusion Comique” by French writer Pierre Corneille from the 17th century, is sure to amuse audiences this spring.
“The Illusion” focuses on Pridamant, a worried parent frantically looking for his son Clindor. When he meets Alcandre the Magician, whose promise is to reveal Clindor’s location through a vision, this story takes an unexpected turn. It serves as a reminder that travels are genuine, even if some of what we see in life may not be, as it unfolds with stock characters from commedia dell’arte and full of illusions that confound even Alcandre himself.
Jeremy Fiebig, Sweet Tea Shakespeare Artistic Director, is in charge of directing the play.
This outdoor performance will run from April 21-23, April 28-30 and May 5-7 starting at 7:30 p.m. at the rustic amphitheater at Gillis Hill Farm. There will be a live music pre-show 45 minutes before show time.
Many call “Shakespeare in Love” a testament to storytelling. In this story, the Queen demands a comedy and every word the playwright pens leaves him perplexed. To have the opportunity to voice her opinions, a noblewoman challenges the established quo. In Sweet Tea Shakespeare’s production, the most tragic love story ever written is re-imagined.
“Shakespeare In Love,” a theatrical adaptation of the 1999 Oscar-winning screenplay by Marc Norman and Tom Stoppard, will be performed in Fayetteville this summer to the delight of Sweet Tea Shakespeare audiences.
The play follows a young Will Shakespeare’s struggle to write his next play and how his encounters with Viola DeLessex, a young member of the aristocracy, affect him.
Viola dreams of appearing in one of his plays despite the fact that doing so is against the law. Their interactions inspire Will to write the tragedy of Romeo and Juliet.
It is directed by special guest Jim Warren (Founding Director of the American Shakespeare Center, author of Shakespeare's New Contemporaries, and head project consultant for the American Globe Center), and features original music by award-winning multi-hyphenate musician Owen Eddy (www.oweneddy.com).
Will and Viola fall in love and get into trouble as they try to navigate their star-crossed path to happiness against the humorous backdrop of mistaken identity, cunning plotting and backstage antics.
What transpires is evidence of the storytelling’s ability to lead us to unexpected locations, unbelievable opportunities, and eventually our magum opus — our great life’s work.
The venue for this performance is to be announced soon. This show will run from June 23-25, June 20-July 2 with shows beginning at 7:30 p.m. There will be a live music pre-show 30 minutes before show time.
Guests can purchase the All Four One package or individual show tickets. For more information on productions in Fayetteville and the two to be performed in Raleigh, visit https://sweetteashakespeare.com/.
