Shakespeare Theatre Company Artistic Director Michael Kahn has announced the company’s 2012-2013 season.


The new season features the return of repertory productions, as STC will mount two productions as part of the new Clarice Smith Repertory Series, to perform in Sidney Harman Hall March 28 – June 2, 2013. The Hero/Traitor Repertory will be comprised of Shakespeare’s Coriolanus, directed by David Muse and Friedrich Schiller’s Wallenstein, adapted by Robert Pinsky, and directed by Kahn.

To begin the season, patrons will have the chance to see STC’s annual Free For All production, a remounting of All’s Well That Ends Well originally directed by Michael Kahn in 2010, and now directed by Jenny Lord, in Sidney Harman Hall, August 23 – September 9.

Also included in the lineup are Nikolai Gogol’s comedy The Government Inspector (Lansburgh Theatre, September 13 – October 28), adapted by Jeffrey Hatcher, and directed by Kahn; Shakespeare’s beloved comedy, A Midsummer Night’s Dream (Sidney Harman Hall, November 15 – December 30), directed by Ethan McSweeny; George Bernard Shaw’s Man and Superman (Lansburgh Theatre, January 24 – March 10), directed by Aaron Posner; and Shakespeare’s The Winter’s Tale (Lansburgh Theatre, May 9 – June 23), directed by Rebecca Bayla Taichman.
