Tickets for The American Shakespeare Center at
Blackfriars Playhouse!
Donated by Hugh Brown.
What a treat! This auction item is tickets for two to any of the plays in the spring or summer series. While
Shakespeare's plays dominate the schedule, other plays from the period are also offered. The
Blackfriars Playhouse in Staunton
is a historically-accurate recreation of the theater in England where Shakespeare's plays were originally
produced. The theater is incredibly beautiful.
From the website: "The American Shakespeare Center is an internationally acclaimed theatre company that performs Shakespeare's works under their original staging conditions -- on a simple stage, without elaborate sets, and with the audience sharing the same light as the actors. Home to the ASC's resident troupe, the Blackfriars Playhouse has been established as one of America's premier Shakespeare destinations."

A few endorsements would be in order. Do check out
their website.
"This stunning re-creation of the first indoor theater in the English-speaking world, which William Shakespeare and his colleagues built on part of London's Blackfriars Monastery...is, in itself, a reason to visit Staunton." -- Frommer's Virginia guide "One of the five most historically important theatres in the world." -- Andrew Gurr, Professor of English, University of Reading, England and former Director of Research, Shakespeare's Globe Theatre, London |
