Shakespeare On The Lawn

Shakespeare on the Lawn 2008
"The Taming of the Shrew"
July 25,26,27 and August 1,2,3 at 7:30 pm

It's the age-old battle of the sexes made new again on the deep green gardens and grounds of Salisbury House.  Watch Petruchio and Kate match wits and tempers in a delightful performance of William Shakespeare's comedy, "The Taming of the Shrew."  Once again, the creativity of director Lorenzo Sandoval brings a dynamic energy to this classic production, for the fifth season of Salisbury House's Shakespeare on the Lawn series.

Bring a picnic, lawn chair or blanket, along with family and friends for a perfect summer evening's entertainment!  Admission is $20 for adults; $5 for students 12-18.  Purchase at the gate or in advance at www.iowatix.com (use promotion code SAL 123 and save $2 on one adult ticket).

Salisbury House & Gardens is made for Shakespeare.  The splendid gardens, scenic woodlands and the grand Tudor-style architecture of Salisbury House itself display a setting for Shakespearean productions that cannot be duplicated anywhere in the country.   The House's Great Hall is crowned with 16th century rafters, originally from the White Hart Inn in Salisbury, England, under which, it is said, Shakespeare performed.
