Flatwater Shakespeare Company is hosting its first (and hopefully annual) "Unshaken Festival," five solo pieces that engage with Shakespeare comically, poignantly, and powerfully (including Dee Ryan's Broadguess, featuring actor Fred Vogel). Summer Lukasiewicz is Flatwater's outgoing executive artistic director, and she shares how these new pieces were selected; how the festival came to be, and how it's a reaction to the pandemic; the importance of getting changes to the tech crew; the differences between working with living playwrights (as opposed to dead ones), including why the royalty line-item suddenly has numbers in it bigger than zero; whether (and how) the “Unhaken Festival” will continue; and why seeing Shakespeare through difference lenses and from different perspectives is one reason why Shakespeare continues to live. (Length 20:25)
