2009 Shakespeare Festival – Twelfth Night
There are some experiences in Charlotte that really drive home what a vibrant, special place it is. The Shakespeare Festival is one. Take some friends and your lawn chairs uptown to the Park on The Green, a small downtown park. The stage was part of the park. Shakespearean characters seemed to just wander in from the street. At one point a man wandered in and sat on a bench, not realizing that the bench was part of the play. When he finally looked up and, to his horror, saw a whole audience looking at him, it was a classic moment.
If you’re worried that your kids won’t get the play, you might be surprised. The actors are so skilled that they convey the meaning of the words, even if you don’t understand every single thing they say. 10 and 13 year olds laughed at the jokes. You are allowed to bring well-behaved dogs.
This year the outdoor Shakespeare play is Twelfth Night. As always, it’s absolutely free. Donations are welcome.
