About The Play
King Ferdinand of Navarre’s “no fun” edict includes scholarly endeavors, quiet contemplation and complete commitment to chastity for three entire years. His closest courtiers reluctantly sign on. But this is a comedy and it doesn’t take long for everyone to figure out that the whole thing is a bad idea and rules are meant to be broken—especially when the French Princess and her beautiful entourage arrive on the scene. The young men’s studies soon give way to secret letters and amorous vows as the women set out to teach the men a thing or two about love.
The Sound Design
Song of Winter and Spring Composer: David Greenberg, Mix: Brandon Reed
By the end of the play, the princess and her companions leave the men on a somber note as they don't end in a typical Shakespearean marriage. Rebekah wanted the show to end on a more positive note, wanting to see the men go through a montage of redemption that may or may not end up with the groups together. Thanks to David Greenberg we were able to have a song that was perfect and fit within the design concept. |
