“Women of Will”
Colorado Shakespeare Festival, Several performances in July and August
Not only is the Colorado Shakespeare Festival staging the Bard’s “Richard III,” but it’ll pull off a coup when it presents Shakespeare & Company founder Tina Packer’s five-play cycle that considers the ways the female characters in Shakespeare’s work changed over time but also how they changed the playwright. Colorado Shakespeare Fest is the first group to stage the full cycle outside of Massachusetts.
