Classic Shakespeare is featured alongside contemporary plays as part of this summer’s repertory season at the Theatricum Botanicum in Topanga Canyon. The acclaimed theater space in its spectacular outdoor setting hosts a variety of productions each year, often touching on social and political issues of the day. This year, the Theatricum presents Shakespeares’ Measure for Measure and A Midsummer Night’s Dream, as well as Heartbreak House by George Bernard Shaw, and the Women of Lockerbie by Deborah Brevoort. The performances are directed by Theatricum Artistic Director Ellen Geer, as well as Willow Geer and Melora Marshall.
