THE CHERRY TORTURED
IN-PERSON, Rehearsal Studio A: Saturday, August 10, 2024 @ 2:00pm
By: Aaron Posner
Based On An Old Play By: Anton Chekhov
Directed By: Davis McCallum
Aaron Posner’s adaptation of Chekhov’s The Seagull (cheekily titled Stupid Fucking Bird) made its Off-Broadway premiere under the direction of HVS Artistic Director Davis McCallum in 2016. Now, Posner is back with an adaptation of Chekhov’s final masterpiece, The Cherry Orchard. HVS company members and some exciting new faces populate this tragic-comic story of a family teetering on the verge of tremendous change.
THE MERRY WIVES OF WINDSOR
IN-PERSON, Rehearsal Studio A: Saturday, August 17, 2024 @ 2:00pm
By: William Shakespeare
Directed By: Davis McCallum
One of Shakespeare’s most delightful comedies, The Merry Wives of Windsor follows the scheming and bumbling Sir John Falstaff, who attempts to woo two wealthy and married women, Mistress Page and Mistress Ford, in hopes of securing their husbands’ fortunes. In HVS’s signature style, we’re playfully exploring the relationship between life in ex-urban Windsor on the banks of the Thames in the last days of the 16th Century, and rivertown life along the Hudson Line, circa 2024. Shakespeare’s exploration of love, social status, and the triumph of cleverness over greed is a joyous romp that has never felt more welcome, or more timely.
