SUMMARY:World Premiere: Lawrence Goodman’s The Victim
DESCRIPTION:The World Premiere of The Victim by Lawrence Goodman runs through July 21 at Shakespeare & Company. Three women\, three interconnected monologues: a successful New York doctor (Stephanie Clayman) whose racial diversity training has gone horribly wrong. A health aide grappling with racism during the COVID-19 pandemic (Yvette King). A Holocaust survivor (Annette Miller)\, facing her own horror and finding her way back to love and healing. Who gets to call herself a victim? Who is the perpetrator? Staged at Shakespeare & Company in 2024 as a reading in the Plays in Process series\, The Victim is about identity\, our blindness to others\, and the human capacity for cruelty and compassion.

SUMMARY:Romeo & Juliet
DESCRIPTION:Presented under the Berkshires’ summer skies this summer\, Romeo and Juliet proves that even the ultimate case of love at first sight can lead to… well\, chaos. \nMeddling families and murderous duels meld to offer an evening of sword fights\, swinging soirees\, and secret weddings — but the play is also full of exuberant vulgarity\, harsh brutality and above all\, the tingling\, unbearable delight of young love.

SUMMARY:Met Opera Live in HD: Bellini’s “I Puritani”
DESCRIPTION:For gorgeous melody\, spellbinding coloratura\, and virtuoso vocal fireworks\, ‘I Puritani’ has few equals. The first new Met production of Bellini’s final masterpiece in nearly 50 years is a striking staging by Charles Edwards\, who makes his company directorial debut after many successes as a set designer. The Met has assembled a world-beating quartet of stars\, conducted by Marco Armiliato\, for the demanding principal roles. Soprano Lisette Oropesa and tenor Lawrence Brownlee are Elvira and Arturo\, brought together by love and torn apart by the political rifts of the English Civil War\, with baritone Artur Ruciński as Riccardo\, betrothed to Elvira against her will\, and bass-baritone Christian Van Horn as Elvira’s sympathetic uncle\, Giorgio.
