Hudson Valley Shakespeare Festival
2015 Route 9, Garrison
(845) 265-9575 | Hvshakespeare.org
Founded in 1987, the Hudson Valley Shakespeare Festival (HVSF) is a critically acclaimed theater company known for its inventive productions staged under an open-air tent overlooking the Hudson River. In its new permanent home in Garrison, audiences can pair a show with a picnic on the grounds, enjoy panoramic river views, and learn about HVSF’s plans for the nation’s first purpose-built LEED Platinum theater, construction of which will soon be underway.
The 37th season, which runs June through September, brings HVSF’s trademark playfulness and imagination to classic stories in thrilling new adaptations by three living American playwrights. “A classical theater company like ours is always building bridges between the past and the present, a conversation across centuries, or sometimes millennia, that happens in the very present moment of live performance,” says HVSF Artistic Director Davis McCallum.
Adapted from Shakespeare’s “Henry VI” and “Richard III,” Whitney White’s “By The Queen” is a sharp, humorous, and of-the-moment look at the Bard’s story of the War of the Roses as told through the lens of Queen Margaret’s reflections on her remarkable life.
Agatha Christie fans won’t want to miss the world premiere of Heidi Armbruster’s highly theatrical adaptation of the 1926 masterpiece from the Poirot series, The Murder of Roger Ackroyd—a re-invention of the pleasures of the theatrical whodunnit in HVSF’s signature playful and freewheeling style.
The world premiere of Luis Quintero’s hip-hop version of Euripides’ ancient tragedy “Medea: Re-Versed” offers up an ice-cold, high-octane adaptation that is as terrifying and shocking today as it was 2,000 years ago.
