Shakepeare in the South Bay

This season, Shakespeare by the Sea presents two brand new productions staged at venues throughout the South Bay.

Performances of All’s Well That Ends Well and King John will take place during July and the first week in August.

All’s Well That Ends Well – Trickery and charades abound in this raucous comedy about Helena’s unrequited love and the lengths to which she goes to win her heart’s desire. Magic cures, two rings and a disguised heroine are needed to ‘trick’ her love into becoming the Prince Charming he never was!

King John – Shakespeare’s own ‘Game of Thrones’, King John is filled with secret alliances, corruption and greed. It’s a poetic and powerful tale of a country’s struggle to unite under a single legitimate ruler.

Hermosa Beach, Valley Park, Valley and Gould
