"This production brings a modern reality onto the world of Shakespeare. With a worn-down warehouse, (designed by Charlie Calvert) the audience is brought into a new apocalyptic reality. The troupe of actors we see are actually hiding from the oppression/edicts that keeps them from performing. Through this conceptualization and the setting, audiences may better understand and relate to the Shakespearean text. Interlude’s are woven through the Shakespearean text, the brainchild of director Brian Isaac Phillips. This allows for seamless entry into the world of the story, out of the world to intermission, and back through the end of the production."
