Shakespeare Northwest 2007 Season

Another great season for Shakespeare Northwest with Twelfth Night and Measure for Measure. I saw 12th Night and it was fantastic. My life is now incomplete knowing that I missed their production of Measure for Measure. Productions of the Bard’s work takes place outdoors by the Skagit River in Mount Vernon, WA.

The park is used for a variety of events, including the grandiose Highland Games each year. Shakes NW tucks into the corner of the park with an unassuming setup – but don’t be fooled by distant appearance. They unleash the full fury of the Bard.

The simplicity of the set fades quickly in the mind’s eye once the thespians take the stage. The multiple levels and door types are used with imagination in the staging and tech of the shows.

Before the show, actor’s battle it out live in the traditional “Sonnet Slam”. Winner is chosen by the audience. A hat is passed through the audience for donations and the winning actor takes all. On the day I attended it was Carolyn Travis who won.

Damond Morris (Artistic Director of Shakespeare Northwest) and yours truly (in the middle of juggling three productions, please be nice about the picture).

Damond Morris might well be the coolest person on planet Earth.
