A 21st century work and a 20th century icon — Anne Frank — will both be seen on the main stage of the Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey in 2015.
The new season from the award-winning professional group, recently honored as “Company of the Year” by The Wall Street Journal, is a little light on Shakespeare. Only one of the namesake playwright’s works will be seen this year on the indoor F.M. Kirby Theatre stage at Drew University in Madison, and that won’t be until Dec. 2, when “The Merry Wives of Windsor” adds some comedy to the holiday season.
Shakespeare, however, will turn up again at the Kirby in the form of a character in a rare contemporary play produced by the company, which normally focuses on the classical canon. Artistic Director Bonnie J. Monte, celebrating her 25th year at the helm, is making an exception this year for the New Jersey premiere of Bill Cain’s “Equivocation.”
