The words of Shakespeare come to life during the Stratford Players\u2019 annual \u201cWill in the Woods\u201d at St. Hugh\u2019s Episcopal Church Saturday. Photo by Jenny Kirchner<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\u201cWill in the Woods: A Shakespeare Collage\u201d is the latest production from Idyllwild\u2019s Stratford Players. Sunday\u2019s rain didn\u2019t dampen the event since the players moved the St. Hugh\u2019s Episcopal Church outdoor performance to the Christian Science Church across from Town Hall.<\/p>\n

But for those who missed Saturday\u2019s outdoor event, the Stratford Players will be performing \u201cWill in the Woods\u201d at 3 p.m. this Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 13 and 14. Before the performance at 2:35 p.m., Doug Austin and Rob Crisell share their insights into Shakespeare and the history of the time he was writing.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is a collage of Shakespeare \u2014 scenes and soliloquies,\u201d said Christopher Morse, a Stratford founding member and a cast member, about the 3 p.m. performance. \u201cWe\u2019re taking William Shakespeare\u2019s best moments.\u201d<\/p>\n

Director Marsha Kennedy, another Stratford founder, said the idea occurred to her as she became aware that a number of people do not love Shakespeare or have not been exposed to his works.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a good experience for play-goers to develop a sense of Shakespeare\u2019s ability,\u201d she said. \u201cIt surprises some people who previously can\u2019t take Shakespeare that there\u2019s a great deal of intensity in his plays.\u201d<\/p>\n

And director Kennedy assures that the lines and scenes are delivered in a very conversational style. \u201cThis gives them a better chance to understand what was said and meant,\u201d she stated.<\/p>\n

According to Kennedy and Morse, there is no formula for the selections. Each was chosen for a different reason. For example, Morse chose Cassius\u2019s monologue from \u201cJulius Caesar\u201d where he tried to persuade Brutus to join the conspiracy to assassinate Caesar.<\/p>\n

This production is the third year Stratford has performed \u201cWill in the Woods.\u201d Kennedy stressed that all the scenes and soliloquies are different from prior performances.<\/p>\n

Tickets are $15. On their website, the Stratford Players say, \u201cOur performances are like those in Shakespeare\u2019s time \u2014 outdoors in the afternoon.\u201d<\/p>\n
