Details

After civil war Messina seems to have returned to peace with few casualties and a courtship holds the promise of reconciling the battle of the sexes in a well matched wedding. But the reconciliation's have been too hurried and soldiers can't return to the civilian world overnight.

Please note that in case of rain, the play will be performed inside in the Lecture Hall of Mason Croft (home of the Shakespeare Institute). Bring your own chairs, blankets and warm clothing. Unfortunately, no alcohol on site.
