Shakespeare's daring romantic comedy will whisk audiences back to the free-spirited America of the late 1960s. Associate Artistic Director Karen Lund finally brings to the stage an idea she's been developing since the 1980s: setting this Shakespeare classic during the hippie movement, transposing a court that's usurped its power to a time when people distrust the establishment. In this interpretation, which spans the United States from Washington, D.C., to the Redwood National and State Parks, people escape to the forest to try a new philosophy and discover transformation.
