“SHATTERING…Directed with a fine precision by Simon Godwin…The beating heart of the production is the remarkable performance of Ms. Laanstra-Corn.” –The Wall Street Journal
“StELLAR…[Simon Godwin’s] direction provides a proper mix of pain and pleasure, joyfulness and regret, all of which bring these characters to vivid life.” –Theater Pizzazz
Join the Drama Committee for an unforgettable evening at The Shakespeare Theatre Company's production of Henrik Ibsen's The Wild Duck
Wednesday, November 5, 2025, at 7:30 p.m.
The eccentric son of a wealthy businessman wreaks havoc when he embarks on a crusade to unveil the false foundations of his friend’s life. Ignorant of the adults’ machinations, a young girl tries to shield a fragile creature from the hurts of the world. Artistic Director Simon Godwin (Macbeth) directs Henrik Ibsen‘s unflinching tale about truth’s tragic toll in a timeless story “that explains why Ibsen is the greatest dramatist after Shakespeare” (The Guardian).
Our special evening will also include a pre-show dinner meet-up at a nearby restaurant for a meal or libations. We look forward to enjoying a lovely evening out on the town with you and your guest(s). Please contact the Drama Committee with any questions.
