Shakespeare & Company

Shakespeare wrote his plays to be performed. To encounter the plays on his terms, one must experience them in performance.

Shakespeare & Company was founded in 1978 to create a theatre of unprecedented excellence in Performance, Training, and Education. We aspire to perform as the Elizabethans did—in love with poetic language, visceral experience, and the mysteries of the universe, while rooted in the classical ideals of inquiry, balance and harmony.
