arts Loading up the carts Shakespeare by the Sea hits the road with “The Merry Wives of Windsor” and “The Winter’s Tale” by Bondo Wyszpolski Each year, and this is their 21st, Shakespeare by the Sea literally begins, and ends, by the sea, at Point Fermin Park in San Pedro. Then, like the troupers and troubadours they are, they take their productions up and down the coast and inland to such cities as Whittier and South Pasadena. By now the company has attempted all but one or two of the Bard’s plays, and the annual repertoire almost always features one comedy and one drama, or something light and something sobering. And this year? The ensemble begins with “The Merry Wives of Windsor,” which is being described as “a rollicking romantic comedy that tells of Falstaff’s folly: courting two married women at the same time. It’s mischief and mayhem galore.” The play is being directed by long-time company member (director and actor) Cylan Brown. This is what he says about tackling it: “I am fascinated with ‘Merry Wives of Windsor’ because it is Shakespeare’s only portrayal of the Elizabethan middle class. It's also the only play he named solely after his female characters, which is fitting as it is a sheer delight to watch the two wives of Windsor pull their delicious pranks on the overconfident Falstaff. With colorful characters including bombastic French doctors, secret young lovers, jealous husbands and comically awkward suitors, we are treated to lighthearted shenanigans as the denizens of this small borough gossip, hatch plans and plot revenges against one another.” Opening a week later and then running in tandem with “Windsor” is “The Winter’s Tale,” this being “the story of Leontes, a King who banished his family wrongfully, only to be taught the meaning of forgiveness through the inspired plan of a wise, loyal woman.” Stephanie Coltrin directs this one, and like Cylan Brown she’s been with Shakespeare by the Sea Shakespeare by the Sea returns to Valley Park in Hermosa Beach with “The Winter’s Tale” on Wed., July 11 and “The Merry Wives of Windsor” on Thurs., July 12. Photo by Kevin Cody for many years. She begins with a direct quote: “It is required you do awake your faith.” “‘The Winter’s Tale’ is one of Shakespeare’s final and finest creations and I am thrilled to be directing it for our 21st season,” she says. “The story illustrates the epic, heartbreaking, tragic consequences of jealousy, but, unlike Shakespeare’s tragedies, provides redemption and forgiveness in the form of a miracle. Filled with extraordinary language, its drama is matched by its comedy, and throughout there is a sense of the magical power of grace. When what’s gone and what’s past help is not past grief, the story reminds us that what was lost can indeed be found.” All events are free (but you can donate). Bring food, blankets, and comfortable clothes.

B South Bay Film Society A first-rate, never ending film festival by Bondo Wyszpolski If you appreciate the artistry of film, and we’re not talking about crowd-pleasing blockbusters, you may have heard about Randy Berler and his ongoing success at bringing high-quality motion pictures to the South Bay. Maybe it’s his charm, who can say, but the films he has managed to find and screen (often before their runs in L.A. or New York) are often nothing short of astonishing. To date, the South Bay Film Society has shown over 200 new foreign language and indie films in its six years of existence, renting theater rooms at the AMC Rolling Hills in Torrance. Many times there are after-screening discussions, and because many filmgoers know a good thing when they’ve found it, seats fill up faster and earlier than they would for a standard, commercial film. Tickets are sold online through the website at southbayfilmsociety.com. Upcoming films: Wed. May 23: “Lean On Pete” - That’s the name of the film and the aging racehorse that a teenage boy named Charlie saves from the glue factory. The two embark on an odyssey across the new American frontier. Wed. May 30: “Venus” - Having recently embraced her own identity, Sid, a transgender woman, finds herself tangled in a complex web of expectations and aspirations when she discovers she has a 14-year-old son. This is a new drama/comedy from Canada. Wed. June 6: “Skid Row Marathon” - is an inspiring documentary about Judge Craig Mitchell, who has changed the lives of countless people he met at the Midnight Mission Shelter on Skid Row in Los Angeles. Q&A with Judge Mitchell and the filmmakers follows the screening. Wed. June 27: “Three Identical Strangers” - Identical triplets become separated at birth and adopted by three different families. Their reunion years later becomes a global sensation, but it also unearths an unimaginable secret that has radical repercussions. This is a remarkable stranger-than-fiction documentary Wed. July 11: “Puzzle” - A woman who has a talent for assembling jigsaw puzzles sneaks away from her suburban town and goes to New York City, where she partners with a man for a puzzle tournament in Atlantic City. Experiencing independence for the first time, she begins to view her value, and the pieces of her own life, in a whole new light. Mon. July 23: “The Wife” - The faithful wife (Glenn Close) of a famous New York novelist decides to leave her husband on the eve he's scheduled to receive a prestigious literary prize. The life-altering decision unearths the many dark secrets of their marriage. B 48 Easy Reader / Beach magazine • May 10, 2018
