San Pedro's annual Shakespeare by the Sea opens June 12 in Point Fermin Park with "A Midsummer Night's Dream." It's billed as "an enchanting comedy where magical mayhem rules. Feisty fairies finagle a four square love affair in this fast, furious fantasy which proves 'the course of true love never did run smooth.'"
The Shakespeare by the Sea production is but one of 47 Shakespeare festivals and theaters in California. And that's just the beginning. There's the San Francisco Shakespeare in the Park, the Oklahoma City Shakespeare in the Park, the Louisville, Kentucky Shakespeare in Central Park, and New York's Shakespeare in Central Park. And then, of course, there's London's Royal Shakespeare Company, Germany's Shakespeare Festival in the Neuss Globe and Mexico's Baja Shakespeare Festival.
If you want to take a road trip to see a sampling of the Bard's work across the nation and the world, Shakespeare Fellowship offers what it calls "the most comprehensive and current list of Shakespeare festivals and theatres on the Web today."
