Over the course of two weeks, we’ll stage and bring to life “Verily, A New Hope,” the original Star Wars episode, as it might have been told in Elizabethan London. The saga of a wise (Jedi) knight and an evil (Sith) lord, of a beautiful princess help captive and a young hero coming of age, Star Wars abounds with all the valor and villainy of any of Shakespeare’s greatest plays. Using creative staging techniques and Shakespeare – like language, we will bring to life all the diverse Star Wars characters and explore how a compelling story can be told with minimal scenery and props. “The bard at his finest, with all the depth of character, insightful soliloquies and clever word play that we’ve come to expect from the master.” “Star Was as you like.” (Ages 10-18)
