Dear Patron,

Now, more than ever, words and language are important. After a decade traveling to all corners of our state, we are always looking fornew ways to foster a love of Shakespeare’s language. One thing we realized is that for some in our audience language itself may actually be a perceived barrier to approaching these works. Director Erin Murray has worked with Spanish language dramaturg Ana Maria Campoy to translate specific moments ofTwelfth Night into Spanish. Their adaptation shows language can be used to be a bridge for true connection as well as to distance and harm.

By adapting portions of the script into Spanish, we hope students and theatre goers who are not native English speakers can begin to see themselves in Shakespeare’s worlds and words. For our audiences who aren’t Spanish speakers, we hope the inclusion of Spanish demonstrates the true universality of Shakespeare’s plays. These plays are a global treasure, in which not just the words being said matter, but also the shared humanity within the words that connects us to them.
