This adaptation has a running time of 90 minutes, with no intermission. It is set in the 1950s.
The adaptation emphasizes accessible Shakespeare! NOTE: We were originally hoping to hold this production outdoor at Foulton's Pond on Rumford Ave, but production aspects have changed that. So now you can enjoy a break from the summer heat and enjoy this show at the air-conditioned Black Box Theater.
