Bard Across The Bridge
Romeo and Juliet
Directed by Karin Saari
Two households, both alike in dignity. What if a feral, desperate struggle for survival is what makes these families alike? When resources are scarce, infrastructure has crumbled, and society has collapsed? The trappings of wealth and status now mean nothing. A grudge is still a grudge. Power is still power. Love is still love.
This new production, set against the backdrop of a dark dystopian possibility, strips Romeo and Juliet to the brutal core of two families willing to destroy each other at any cost in the name of power, legacy, and revenge.

MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING
DIRECTED BY WILLIS TAYLOR
Beatrice and Benedick enjoy nothing better than throwing insults at each other, but as they spar, their sizzling repartee begins to reveal their deep regard and mutual affection. Their new-found connection is challenged, however, when Beatrice’s niece Hero is wrongfully accused and abused. Set in the 1920s, an era of changing attitudes towards marriage and power, the play presents a society at once filled with progressive feminist impulses and opposing systems rooted in patriarchal values.
Will truth and love win out?
Find out in this dazzling, music-filled production directed by GVSF favourite Willis Taylor. Willis first appeared in the GVSF as the Duke of Milan in Two Gentlemen of Verona (2019), and subsequently as the king in Cymbeline (2021) and as Jaques in As You Like It (2022), also writing and directing the music for both those productions. His career began in the UK, where he trained at the Young Vic, and has spanned 30 years of teaching, singing, directing and acting in Shakespeare.
