Sonnets Onstage, part of our Studio Series

Sonnets Onstage is a collaboration between the director and 6 actors who have developed this original play based on Shakespeare's sonnets. Using improvisation and strong dramaturgy, the team has created a series of contemporary and Elizabethan vignettes that captures the same kind of drama, passion, and conflict found in Shakespeare’s plays. “It has been great to write a script in this laboratory setting with these talented actors. We’ve discovered that Shakespeare’s timelessness, exuberance, and drama are as present in his sonnets as his plays,”

says director Glenn Bugala.
