Play On Shakespeare has created an entire library of new versions of the entire Shakespeare canon with some of the greatest living writers! But these are “pure” they are translated line for line.  This new chapter for Play On will be about making new productions! The Magic Theatre are matching these translations with a new version embodying it entirely with a POC cast- filled with the folx typically outside of Shakespeare text and productions. This will feature POC, Women, and Queer folx throughout and rightfully centered, embodying the original story and context- no adaptation- created for now!

Richard II

Fort Mason Center for Arts & Culture

Once upon a time, in a fishing village along the Amazon, there lived two sisters struggling to find their "happily ever after." Helena is dreading her sister Belmira's wedding. The groom, Duarte, should have been hers. And she knows that her sister only wants to escape their sleepy Brazilian town for an exciting new life in the city. But three days before the wedding, fishermen pull a mysterious stranger out of the river—a man with no past who offers both sisters an alluring, possibly dangerous future. Brazilian folklore and lyrical storytelling blend into a heartrending tale of true love, regret, transformation, and the struggle to stay true to your family while staying true to yourself.
