Further Details about our 2019 Season!
Flatwater
Shakespeare Company's 2019 Season combines comedy and tragedy, love
and murder, a bit with a dog and a porter at the gate – all brought
to the stage by accomplished directors.
The
season begins with a hilarious romp through the Bard's entire canon,
The
Complete Works of William Shakespeare, Abridged by
Adam Long, Daniel Singer, and Jess Winfield. Three ingenious actors
will play every last role, as the script both pays tribute to
Shakespeare and makes affectionate fun at his (and our) expense. The
show will be directed by Paul Durban and performed at a new venue for
FSC, The Mill at Nebraska Innovation Campus, March 14-17 and March
21-24.
FSC's
summer “Short Shakespeare” show will be The
Two Gentlemen of Verona. There's a love quadrangle with Proteus
and Valentine and Sylvia and Julia. There's the wise-cracking servant
Launce and his dog Crab. There's also a band of outlaws. A
seventy-five minute version of Shakespeare's first romantic comedy
will be directed by Patsy Koch-Johns. On June 6-9 and
June 13-16, the play will be presented at the Swan Theatre in The
Stables at Wyuka. On June 20-23, the company will visit Lincoln parks
and other outdoor venues for this year's Flatwater FREE Shakespeare
tour, providing a perfect family experience of live theater.
The
season concludes with William Shakespeare's Macbeth. With warfare, witchcraft, brutal ambition, guilty consciences, and
unintended consequences, the play is one of the clearest inspirations
for Game of Thrones. This haunting meditation on power's
seductive attractions and corrosive effects will be directed
by FSC's Founding Artistic Director, Bob Hall. Performances will be
September 26-29, October 3-6, and October 10-13 at the Swan Theatre
in The Stables at Wyuka.
2019
Season Auditions will take place January 13 and 14 with callbacks for
specific shows to be announced later.
FSC
Executive Director Summer Lukasiewicz is proud of the line-up. "We
have new venues, new collaborations, and directors who are new to
Flatwater in 2019,” Lukasiewicz says. “We are spreading our
wings, but we are also staying connected to our roots of high quality
theatre – including a full-length Shakespearean tragedy at the
Stables at Wyuka with Bob Hall at the helm. This is an exciting
season of growth as we continue to broaden our reach and strive to
make Shakespeare for Everyone!"
