WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
To celebrate the Holiday Season, The Shakespeare Theatre presents the American East Coast premiere of Dodie Smith's British romantic comedy I Capture the Castle. Most famous for her novel The Hundred and One Dalmatians, I Capture the Castle was Ms. Smith's first novel which she then adapted for the stage. This 1930's coming-of-age classic is perfect for family audiences and is full of colorful Bohemian characters, wit, wisdom, a fabulous crumbling castle, and a strong dose of love.
