Spring: Tour Homecoming

April 17 - June 9

The 2018/19 Hand of Time Tour is on the road from September to April, but you can also catch them in Staunton!  Thousands of people across the country see these stories of mistaken identity, furious jealousy, and civil disobedience, but our home court has the advantage.  While this troupe is in residence at the Blackfriars Playhouse in spring 2019, you can see the world-premiere second installment of Shakespeare’s New Contemporaries.

HAND OF TIME TOUR | SPRING SEASON

In the aftermath of her brothers’ bloody war, Antigone is left torn. Her brother Eteocles will be honored, but her brother Polyneices will be shamed and denied funeral rites. In this ancient tale, Antigone stands for morality in spite of punishment as one of the earliest heroines in drama. Sophocles’s drama from 441 BC holds startling relevance today, examining divinity, obedience, and law – and how love overcomes them all.

HAND OF TIME TOUR | SPRING SEASON

In this rollicking farce, Shakespeare elevates Roman comedy to dizzying heights. Two long-separated twins, their two tricky servants (also twins), a jealous wife, and her lovelorn sister romp through this fast-paced comedy. Filled with mistaken identities and slapstick humor, The Comedy of Errors will have audiences laughing from the first confusion to the last.
