Directions
by William Shakespeare
a comedy directed by Shanna Dixon, Preston Lanier assistant director
Set in 1940s Messina, Italy, this one has it all: sexual tension,
flirtation, verbal zingers, and (relatively) amusing clowns. The
beautifully drawn love-hate relationship between tart-tongued
Beatrice and blustery, confirmed bachelor Benedick is more engaging
to modern audiences than the supposed main plot, which hinges on an
elaborate scheme of deception and vicious shaming.
