John DiAntonio, Festival Artistic Director, and Michael Bahr, Festival Executive Managing Director
Hello Friends and Guests,
It is our immense joy to welcome you to the 65th season of the Utah Shakespeare Festival. For six and half decades, the Festival has been where professional artistry meets lifelong tradition. Generations Gather Here and make lasting, profound memories season after season. Or perhaps, this is your first time stepping foot onto the Beverley Center for the Arts, an incredible place celebrating its tenth anniversary this year. We welcome you!
With so much to celebrate, we invite you to experience the magic of eight brilliant productions. From three very different offerings by William Shakespeare to two Tony Award-winning musicals, from a classic wartime farce to two plays inspired by beloved works of literature, we hope each performance will inspire, challenge, and delight you.
While you’re here, we encourage you to soak up all things theatre! The Festival offers more than just plays. Enjoy the laughter and energy of nightly Greenshows, a fascinating look behind the curtain on our backstage tours, and fulfilling conversations with theatre scholars and fellow audience members in our seminars, orientations, and classes. The full Festival Experience invites you to engage more deeply—with the craft, the artists, and each other.
We’re honored to share these vibrant traditions, born from the dream of Fred C. and Barbara Adams over six decades ago, with more than 80,000 patrons each year, right here on the beautiful campus of Southern Utah University.
Whether you are just beginning to make memories here or are adding to those already dear to you, we are grateful you decided to share in the extraordinary art of live theatre.

UTAH SHAKESPEARE FESTIVAL’S CULTURE AND COMMUNITY STATEMENT
More than 60 years ago, our founder Fred C. Adams was inspired by a bold and ambitious idea. He knew he couldn’t accomplish it alone, so he reached out to the community, and with a little persuasion, they embraced what would become the Utah Shakespeare Festival. Today, Fred’s spirit continues to guide and inspire. To him, no one was a stranger. When he greeted us on the Greenshow lawn, he welcomed us into the Festival community and we felt valued.
The Utah Shakespeare Festival remains committed to being a gathering space for connection and shared ideas. The Festival strives to foster a culture of respect, kindness, curiosity, and collaboration among artists, audiences, and staff. Grounded in the timeless works of Shakespeare and other playwrights, we celebrate the richness of diverse perspectives, backgrounds, and experiences. Our responsibility is to help every person at the Festival feel included, seen, heard, and valued. As the Festival grows, so does our community. The more folks we embrace, the better we become. The work is ongoing, and just like all those years ago, it takes all of us, together.

Troilus and Cressida
During the exhausting eighth year of the Trojan War, a grueling stalemate has left the Greek and Trojan armies thoroughly disillusioned. The conflict, ignited by Paris abducting Helen from her Greek husband Menelaus, has dissolved into a weary war of attrition. In Troy, King
Priam’s youngest son, Troilus, ignores the battlefield to passionately pursue the beautiful Cressida. He enlists her voyeuristic uncle, Pandarus, to orchestrate a meeting with her. Though Cressida initially feigns indifference to protect her heart and maintain his pursuit, she eventually yields to his advances. The two share a night of passion, exchanging intimate love tokens and swearing eternal fidelity.
Meanwhile, military morale plummets in the encampments. The formidable Greek champion Achilles sulks in his tent, withdrawing from combat due to ongoing insubordination. Seeking to provoke his jealousy and restore order, the clever Ulysses builds up the dim-witted Ajax as a rival warrior. Concurrently, the Trojan general Hector questions the value of sacrificing lives for Helen, but he ultimately abandons
his doubts to defend Trojan honor. Hector issues a challenge for single combat, and the Greeks deviously manipulate Ajax into accepting, praying it will finally goad Achilles back into action. The duel ends in a draw and the Grecian and Trojan leaders depart for a friendly feast in Achilles tent. Their fragile happiness is shattered when a prisoner exchange forces a devastated Cressida into the Greek camp under the escort of Diomedes. Once there, she quickly adapts to her new surroundings, greeting the Greek commanders with a round of kisses.
From a hidden vantage point that evening, a brokenhearted Troilus watches in horror as Cressida is easily seduced by Diomedes, even surrendering Troilus’s cherished love token to her new lover.
The next day, a furious Troilus clashes with Diomedes on the battlefield, though their duel is inconclusive. Nearby, Hector ignores the dark, prophetic warnings of his sister Cassandra. Hector slaughters Patroclus, Achilles’ intimate friend, which finally jolts Achilles from his moodiness. Seeking ruthless vengeance, Achilles catches Hector unarmed and resting, brutally murdering him in total defiance of chivalric honor before dragging his corpse behind his horse.
The tragedy concludes in total despair: the war rages on, Troilus loses all faith in existence, and a miserable Pandarus is left to curse future generations.

Following the sudden death of King Hamlet, his brother Claudius claims the Danish throne and marries the widowed Queen Gertrude. Prince Hamlet, devastated by his father’s death and his mother’s
hasty remarriage, learns from his friend Horatio that the King’s ghost is haunting Elsinore Castle. When Hamlet confronts the apparition, the ghost reveals he was murdered by Claudius and demands revenge. To mask his intentions from the suspicious court, Hamlet decides to feign madness. This “antic disposition” complicates his relationship with Ophelia, his true love. Her father, Polonius—Claudius’s chief advisor—believes Hamlet’s madness stems from lovesickness. Seeking answers, Gertrude summons Hamlet’s school friends, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, but Hamlet quickly detects their duplicity.
When a troupe of actors arrives, Hamlet plots to catch the King’s conscience. He has them perform a play mirroring his father’s

murder. Claudius panics and storms out during the performance, confirming his guilt. Later, Hamlet discovers Claudius praying but spares him to ensure his soul does not go to heaven. Soon after, Hamlet confronts his mother in her chambers. Hearing a noise behind the tapestry, Hamlet stabs the hidden figure, mistakenly killing Polonius instead of Claudius.
In response, Claudius banishes Hamlet to England with secret execution orders. Hamlet uncovers the plot, replaces his name with Rosencrantz and Guildenstern’s, and returns to Denmark. Meanwhile, a griefstricken Ophelia loses her mind and dies by drowning. Her brother, Laertes, returns from
Claudius exploits Laertes’s rage, arranging a rigged fencing match between him and Hamlet. Claudius poisons Laertes’s blade and prepares a poisoned wine cup as a backup. During the chaotic duel, Gertrude accidentally drinks the poison and dies. Laertes wounds Hamlet, but they swap swords, and Laertes is fatally poisoned by his own blade. Realizing the treachery, a dying Hamlet kills Claudius. As Prince Fortinbras of Norway arrives to claim Denmark, Hamlet dies in Horatio’s arms, leaving his friend to tell his tragic story.

@utahshakespeare | #TwelfthNightUSF
Twelfth Night
Following a shipwreck, the twins Viola and Sebastian are separated, each believing the other has drowned. Stranded in Illyria, Viola disguises herself as a young man named Cesario and enters the service of Duke Orsino. Orsino is deeply in love with Lady Olivia,
who is currently undergoing a strict sevenyear period of mourning for her deceased brother and rejecting all suitors. Orsino sends Cesario/Viola to woo Olivia on his behalf, unaware that Viola has secretly fallen in love with him. Complications arise when Olivia rejects Orsino’s advances but falls in love with Cesario/Viola.
Meanwhile, Olivia’s household is disrupted by her arrogant steward, Malvolio. To humble him, Olivia’s maid Maria joins forces with Olivia’s eccentric uncle Sir Toby Belch, the fool Feste, and a wealthy suitor, Sir Andrew Aguecheek. They forge a love letter from Olivia, convincing Malvolio to wear absurd cross-gartered yellow stockings. His bizarre behavior leads Olivia to believe he is mad, and is therefore locked away.
The confusion peaks when Sebastian— unaware that his sister is still alive—arrives in Illyria alongside Antonio, an outlaw sea captain who lends Sebastian his money. When Sir Toby instigates a duel between a reluctant Cesario/Viola and Sir Andrew, Antonio intervenes to protect Cesario/ Viola, mistaking her for Sebastian, and is subsequently arrested. Later, Sir Andrew mistakes the actual Sebastian for Cesario/ Viola and attacks him, only to be easily defeated. Olivia breaks up the fight and, also mistaking Sebastian for Cesario, promptly marries him.
Ultimately, Antonio is brought before the duke and creates some confusion by relating his adventures with Cesario/Viola, whom he still thinks is Sebastian. Olivia adds to the confusion by entering and claiming Cesario/Viola as her husband. Sebastian eventually appears before Duke Orsino and Olivia, reuniting the twins and clearing up the chaotic cases of mistaken identity. Orsino realizes his love for Viola, Olivia embraces her marriage to Sebastian, Sir Toby marries Maria, and Malvolio is left disgruntled.

Something Rotten!
SYNOPSIS
Set in the bustling streets of 1590s London, Something Rotten! tells the hilarious misadventures of brothers Nick and Nigel Bottom. The duo runs a struggling theater troupe and finds themselves constantly overshadowed by the “rock star” of the Renaissance, William Shakespeare. While
Nigel is a sensitive, gifted poet, Nick is consumed by a bitter rivalry with the Bard and is desperate for a hit that will finally put the Bottom name on top.
In a moment of desperation, Nick uses the family’s meager savings to consult a local soothsayer, Thomas Nostradamus (the lessfamous nephew of the legendary seer). Nick asks what the “next big thing” in theater will be, and Nostradamus provides a blurry vision of the future: musicals! Though Nick is baffled by the idea of characters randomly bursting into song and dance, he decides to embrace the absurdity to beat Shakespeare at his own game.
As Nick begins crafting the world’s first musical, he returns to Nostradamus for one more favor: to predict Shakespeare’s greatest
his vision of Hamlet, telling Nick the play will be titled Omelette. Guided by this misinformation, Nick pours his energy into a bizarre production about breakfast, much to the confusion of Nigel, who would rather write a sincere play based on his own ideas. The plot thickens with a secret romance between Nigel and Portia, the daughter of a strict Puritan, and the interference of Shakespeare himself, who disguises himself to infiltrate the Bottoms’ troupe and steal their ideas. Ultimately, the opening of Omelette: The Musical is a spectacular, tap-dancing disaster. After a legal showdown, the brothers are exiled to America, where they find a fresh start. They realize that while they didn’t beat the Bard, they successfully pioneered a brandnew art form, proving that “to thine own self be true.”

SYNOPSIS
Set in post-WWII at the vicarage of Mertoncum-Middlewick, the story begins with Penelope Toop, a former actress-turnedvicar’s-wife, who is struggling to conform to rigid social expectations. When an old acting friend, Clive Winton, pays a surprise visit, the two decide to sneak off to the theater. To avoid a scandal, Clive disguises himself in one of her husband’s suits and a clerical collar. However, the plan goes awry when the village busybody, Miss Skillon, catches them in a compromising (but innocent) position
and proceeds to get accidentally drunk on cooking sherry, leading to her being hidden away in a broom cupboard.
The chaos escalates exponentially with the arrival of several other men who all end up in identical religious attire: an escaped German Prisoner of War who breaks into the house and steals the vicar’s clothes to use as a disguise, the Bishop of Lax (Penelope’s uncle) who arrives early, and a visiting preacher, the Reverend Arthur Humphrey, who shows up for his Sunday duties.
As the night progresses, the characters find themselves caught in a whirlwind of confusion. With four “vicars” running around the house—some real, some fake—the plot descends into a madcap chase. Doors slam, identities are swapped at breakneck speed, and the local police are called in to untangle the mess. By the time the curtain falls, the “vicarcount” is high, the Bishop is bewildered, and the audience is left breathless by the highspeed physical comedy and the inevitable, hilarious restoration of order.

She Loves Me
Set in 1930s Budapest, She Loves Me is a warm, intimate musical that follows the employees of Maraczek’s Parfumerie. The story centers on Georg Nowack, the shop’s capable assistant manager, and Amalia Balash, a determined young woman who secures a job there by
sheer persistence. From their very first meeting, Georg and Amalia clash, sparking a workplace rivalry defined by bickering and mutual annoyance.
Unbeknownst to both, they are actually deeply in love—just not with the person standing in front of them. Both have been participating in a “lonely hearts” correspondence, exchanging anonymous, soulful letters with a secret pen pal they each refer to as “Dear Friend.” While they trade insults at the perfume counter, they trade poetry and dreams through the mail, each convinced that their correspondent is their perfect soulmate.
The tension comes to a head when Amalia arranges a meeting with her "Dear Friend" at a cafe. George arrives and is shocked to discover his romantice pen pal is actually his workplace
SYNOPSIS
nemesis. He eventually goes to her table, but does not reveal what he now knows. Amalia thinks she has been stood up by her date and is devastated. George later visits her at home with a gift of vanilla ice cream. He begins to see her vulnerability, while she begins to see his kindness.
As the Christmas season approaches, the shop is filled with subplots involving their coworkers: the playboy Steven Kodaly, the unlucky-in-love Ilona Ritter, the anxious family man Sipos, and the depressed Maraczek. Eventually, Georg reveals his identity to Amalia in a heartwarming finale. The two realize that the love they found in letters exists in the real world, proving that true affection often hides behind the most unexpected faces. It is a story of looking past first impressions to find the “Dear Friend” within.

MARY SHELLEY’S FRANKENSTEIN premiered at Lookingglass Theatre Company in Chicago, May 2019.
@utahshakespeare | #MaryShelleysFrankensteinUSF
SYNOPSIS
David Catlin’s adaptation of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein is a haunting, highly-theatrical reimagining that intertwines the creation of the famous Gothic novel with the real-life tragedies of its author. The play takes place during the infamous rainy summer of 1816 at Switzerland’s Villa Diodati. Here, a young Mary Shelley, her husband Percy Bysshe Shelley, Lord Byron, Claire Clairmont, and Dr. John Polidori pass the time by challenging each other to create a ghost story.
As Mary begins to spin her tale, the boundaries between reality and fiction quickly dissolve. The friends in the villa seamlessly transition into the characters of Mary’s imagination. Her deepest real-world losses directly birth the monster of her creative tale.
Mary’s story follows Victor Frankenstein, a brilliant student consumed by a desire to conquer death. He pieces together a human form from graveyard corpses and successfully animates it. However, horrified by the hideousness of his creation, Victor immediately abandons it. The Creature, thrust into a cruel world with the mind of a newborn but the body of a giant, wanders the countryside. Though he learns language and experiences human emotion, he faces universal rejection and violence from everyone he meets.
Driven by profound loneliness, the Creature confronts Victor. He demands that his creator fashion him a female companion, promising to disappear forever if Victor complies. Victor reluctantly agrees but, paralyzed by the moral implications, destroys the female creature before she is finished. Enraged by this ultimate betrayal, the Creature vows to destroy everything Victor loves.
The story spirals into a brutal cycle of revenge, the tragic parallel mirroring Mary Shelley’s own life. Ultimately, creator and monster are locked in an eternal cat-andmouse chase, fleeing across the globe to the frozen, barren wasteland of the Arctic. There, both the creator and the created face each other in a visually striking, poetic climax.

SYNOPSIS
In Karen Zacarías’s smart, fast-paced comedy
The Book Club Play, a tight-knit book club becomes the subject of a documentary by a famous filmmaker. The group is led by Ana, a charming but controlling perfectionist who views the club as her personal domain of high-culture. Her fellow members include her underachieving husband Rob, her awkwardly honest best friend Jen, her conservative exboyfriend Will, and Lily, a trend-focused younger colleague from Ana’s newspaper.
The dynamic shifts dramatically when the documentary cameras are turned on, creating an unspoken pressure for everyone
to perform. The group is pushed further out of its comfort zone when Alex, an intellectual comparative literature professor, joins the club. His presence disrupts the carefully curated social order, sparking repressed romantic tensions and intellectual rivalries.
As the wine flows and the cameras capture every strategic glance, the club tackles books ranging from Moby Dick to The Da Vinci Code. The highbrow facade quickly crumbles. Over the course of their meetings, secret affairs are exposed, relationships are tested, and long-held resentments boil over. The characters find themselves treating their own lives like sensational pulp fiction, proving that reading great literature doesn’t necessarily make people well-behaved.
Ultimately, The Book Club Play is a witty, satirical look at a group of friends who are forced to confront the truth about themselves when they realize someone is finally watching. It is a celebratory comedy about the books we love, the secrets we keep, and the community we find when we choose to read together.
