A NEW VERSION BY NAOMI IIZUKA
DIRECTED BY DR. KARINA GUTiÉRREZ
Richard II is Shakespeare’s examination of the destructive powers of privilege. In the second half of the Iizuka Repertory - the company from the world premiere of Garuda's Wing will perform a new, lean production of Iizuka’s Play On version of Richard II shaped to this company. Not modernized, just new. This will be the first Shakespeare produced by the Magic Theatre in decades, but this is new!
Lorraine Hansberry Theatre presents The Black Feminist Guide to the Human Body. A daring celebration of life and the resilience of Black women, The Black Feminist Guide to the Human Body marks Lisa B. Thompson’s triumphant return to the Bay Area in a rolling world premiere celebrating the joys and challenges of growing older and wiser.
We continue to require that all patrons wear a mask in the theatre during productions. You can still bring drinks in we just ask that masks are worn between sips. Thank you for helping us keep our cast, staff and audiences safe and healthy.
