A vintage-style portrait of a woman in a formal dress, sitting on a sofa while reading a book. The image is encased in an ornate, gold oval frame and has a vibrant, neon color effect, reminiscent of the lively ambiance expected at the 2nd Annual David Chesnut Jazz Festival at Eustis Estate on August 10, 2024.

HILARITY & HIJINKS OF SHAKESPEAREAN COMEDY WITH MODERN FEMINIST ATTITUDES
Blind dates, hilarious love triangles, and of course, admissions of love that start with “make me your squirrel.” It’s not the latest streaming rom-com, but it’s close. See this play if you want to know what it looks like when the woman gets the guy, and not the other way around.
Hannah Cowley’s A Bold Stroke for a Husband features five strong women entangled in the hilarious hijinks of a Shakespearean comedy – think The Taming of the Shrew and Twelfth Night told from a woman’s perspective. While Olivia’s father attempts to marry her off, she un-suits her suitors by adopting various unattractive qualities. Laura and Victoria are wooing each other – yet competing with each other – in an effort to dominate husband/lover Don Carlos. In this delightful romp, how will each woman get her own happy ending?
This program is open to the public. Tickets are pay what you will.
