Upcoming Reading
Please join us for the next in our Hidden Classics Reading Series.

James S. Craft & Danielle O’Hare in
Helen of Troy by Rob Melrose

Life is a Dream
by Pedro Calderón de la Barca
Directed by Paige Rogers
February 6, 7pm


One of the most important plays from Spain’s Golden Age of Drama, Life is a Dream explores what shapes one Prince’s identity by exploring the life that he actually led versus the life he could have led. It is a wonderful companion to our production of Shakespeare’s The Taming of the Shrew because the question of identity is at the core of both.

Now in its second year, The Hidden Classics Reading Series is a great way to get to know fascinating classic plays just on the edge of regional theater offerings. It is a rare opportunity to hear them read and to have a chance to discuss these plays with directors, dramaturgs and actors from The Cutting Ball.

All readings are at 7pm in Modern Times Bookstore's reading room at 888 Valencia St, San Francisco, CA 94110. They are free to the public and no reservations are necessary. Click here for a map.
