Event Description
Victoria's Shakespeare by the Sea and Discovery Dance presents Hamlet and The Tempest for our fourth season! Enjoy two of Shakespeare's classic plays with a beautiful view of the Olympic Mountains at 199 Dallas Rd. Ogden Point Pier.
This year's HAMLET will be set in the late Viking age in its transition from pagan to Christian values. Hamlet is a man on a mission between two conflicting eras.
The two shows (The Tempest and Hamlet) are part of an ambitious three year project the Artistic Director Robert Light calls “Shakespeare and Women.” Mister Light said, “We are embarking on a multi-year exploration of Shakespeare's mind on women. This year we present HAMLET, a play on a young man estranged from his mother. Next year we will do OTHELLO, a middle-aged man suspicious of his wife, And in 2017 we will produce KING LEAR, an aged father cut off from his daughters.” The tragic trilogy examines the outcomes when men fail to connect with women.
