What if Dorothy’s journey to Oz had been penned by William Shakespeare? In “Shakespeare’s Oz,” author Jordan Monsell brings to life a world where Shakespearean language and themes collide with the timeless tale of The Wizard of Oz. Set sail with Dorothy as she is swept away by a tempest and lands in a dream-like realm filled with references to A Midsummer Night’s Dream, As You Like It, and Much Ado About Nothing. Along the way, she meets the three Gentlemen of Oz—a scarecrow made flesh, a pewter-bodied man, and a timid lion—along with witches and a cryptic Wizard. This innovative, world-premiere production from L.A.-based Odesa Company is sure to captivate fans of classic theatre and fantasy alike.
