有人说每个故事都有三个方面：我的一边，你的一边和真相。我们很少有机会检查历史上同一时刻的多种观点
It has been said that there are three sides to every story: my side, your side, and the truth. We rarely get a chance to examine multiple perspectives of the same moment in history, especially when that moment happened hundreds of years ago in a land far away. However, we in the Fayetteville community have such an opportunity with Sweet Tea Shakespeare’s upcoming productions.This June, the local theatre ensemble renowned for its distinctive storytelling, immersive staging, and the harmonious integration of music will embark on a theatrical endeavor unlike any other in its history. Sweet Tea Shakespeare will present two distinct yet intertwined productions in repertory: William Shakespeare's compelling history play, King John, and the beloved folk tale of Robin Hood. These two narratives, seemingly disparate at first glance, will run concurrently, each playing on alternating nights on the intimate basement stage of the Arts Council building at 301 Hay Street. This ambitious approach to performance, presenting two full productions with significant overlap in cast and creative teams, marks a groundbreaking "in repertory" debut for Sweet Tea Shakespeare, promising a rich and multifaceted theatrical experience for local audiences.King John, a lesser-known gem in Shakespeare's historical canon, takes us into a turbulent time in England’s history. The play grapples with the precarious legitimacy of King John's reign, a throne constantly threatened by internal betrayal and the looming specter of war. As the kingdom teeters on the brink, John must navigate a treacherous landscape of political intrigue and personal vendettas to secure his crown and safeguard his realm. Sweet Tea Shakespeare's production of King John is led by a dynamic trio of directors: Jeremy Fiebig, Jennifer Pommerenke, and Jessica Osnoe, each bringing their unique vision to this complex historical drama.Robin Hood is a familiar tale of the outlaw who steals from the rich to give to the poor. A figure of unwavering moral conviction, Robin Hood stands in stark opposition to the corrupt machinations of the King and his ruthless enforcers, most notably the infamous Sheriff of Nottingham. In a world rife with political corruption, Robin Hood and his Merry Men embody a spirit of rebellion and a commitment to rectifying societal imbalances. Sweet Tea’s production of Robin Hood is directed by Jessie Wise, who is also the company’s executive director and CEO.The two productions employ mostly the same cast which presents some unique opportunities and challenges. When asked about the experience, Venus Bess, who plays Lady Verysdale in Robin Hood and Blanche in King John, as well as other small roles in both plays, said that she was worried about it in the beginning but as rehearsals have progressed, it was working out to be less stressful than initially expected. Three directors leading one play is another unique aspect that is not often seen. Cast member Izaiah Zapata explained that the team of Fiebig, Pommerenke, and Osnoe is working together really effectively. They each bring a different perspective and expertise that helps to create a cohesive and robust production.Performance dates are as follows:• King John: June 5, 7, 13, 15, 19, and 21• Robin Hood: June 6, 8, 12, 14, 20, and 22Tickets are available at sweetteashakespeare.com. Discounts are available for students, military, and seniors.
有人说每个故事都有三个方面：我的一边，你的一边和真相。我们很少有机会检查历史上同一时刻的多种观点，尤其是当那一刻发生在数百年前的一片土地上时。但是，我们在费耶特维尔社区（Fayetteville Community）与甜茶莎士比亚（Sweet Tea Shakespeare）的即将到来的作品有了这样的机会。这是6月，本地剧院合奏团以其独特的讲故事，沉浸式的舞台而闻名，音乐的和谐融合将在其历史上与其他任何戏剧性融合。甜茶莎士比亚将在曲目中展示两种截然不同但相互交织的作品：威廉·莎士比亚（William Shakespeare）引人入胜的历史戏剧《约翰王》（King John）和罗宾·胡德（Robin Hood）备受喜爱的民间故事。乍一看，这两个叙述似乎是不同的，每个叙述都将同时运行，每个叙述都会在301 Hay Street的艺术委员会大楼的亲密地下室阶段进行交替的夜晚。这种雄心勃勃的表演方法，在演员和创意团队中呈现了两种完整的作品，标志着“曲目”首次亮相的“曲目”首次亮相，有望为当地观众提供丰富而多方面的戏剧经验。该剧努力应对约翰国王统治的不稳定的合法性，这是一个不断受到内部背叛和迫在眉睫的战争幽灵威胁的宝座。随着王国在边缘摇摇欲坠时，约翰必须在政治阴谋和个人仇杀的危险景观中驾驶，以确保他的王冠并维护他的领域。甜茶莎士比亚国王约翰国王的制作由动态的三人组成：杰里米·菲比格（Jeremy Fiebig），詹妮弗·帕梅伦克（Jennifer Pommerenke）和杰西卡·奥斯诺（Jessica Osnoe），每个人都为这部复杂的历史戏剧带来了他们独特的愿景。罗宾·霍德（Robin Hood）是一个熟悉的传奇故事，他熟悉的是从富人那里偷东西的巨大戏剧性的故事。罗宾汉（Robin Hood）是一个坚定不移的道德信念的人物，反对国王及其无情的执法人员的腐败的阴谋，最著名的是诺丁汉臭名昭著的警长。在一个充满政治腐败的世界中，罗宾·胡德（Robin Hood）和他的快乐人体现了一种叛乱的精神，并承诺纠正社会失衡。 Sweet Tea的作品Robin Hood由Jessie Wise执导，Jessie Wise也是该公司的执行董事兼首席执行官。这两部作品大多采用相同的演员表，呈现出一些独特的机会和挑战。当被问及这一经历时，维纳斯·贝丝（Venus Bess）在约翰国王（King John）中扮演罗宾汉（Robin Hood）和布兰奇（Blanche）的夫人，以及在这两部戏中的其他小角色，她说，她一开始就担心这一点，但随着彩排的进展，它的压力要比最初预期的要小。领导一部戏的三位导演是另一个独特的方面，经常被看不见。演员Izaiah Zapata解释说，Fiebig，Pommerenke和Osnoe团队确实有效地合作。他们每个人都带来了不同的观点和专业知识，有助于创建凝聚力和强大的生产。绩效日期如下：•约翰王：6月5日，7日，13、15、19、19和21•罗宾汉：6月6日，8、12、14、20、20和22tickets在SweetTeasHakespeare.com上可用。学生，军事和老年人可享受折扣。
