The play has been shortened to an hour to accommodate the unusual seating arrangements; creators figured that watching a long show from a kayak might deter some guests. Boats are welcome, although a kayak will provide the best view of the play. Shakespeare on the Water is partnering with Seatrek, a kayak rental service, for the performances, and if you mention the play, a discount will be applied on your rental.

“Being in the mansion and moving room to room has made it easier to live in Juliet’s circumstances,” Whistle said. “With this being an immersive experience, I get to bring the audience in on something so intimate and vulnerable. They will get to share in my grief, joy, anger, love and everything in between.”

OSF’s new artistic director became a theater kid in the fourth grade. It was the spring of 1968 when Bond discovered the transformative power of theater. He was playing Marc Antony in an abridged version of Shakespeare’s “Julius Caesar.”

That epiphany 55 years ago in an elementary school cafeteria occurred in the play shortly after Caesar’s assassination. Bond strode onto the stage and uttered Antony’s famous line, “Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears.”

“I recall that a hush came over the audience,” Bond said. “It seemed that everyone leaned in a bit to listen more closely. I suddenly felt the power of oratory, of history, of political theater.”

Back in Europe as a diplomat, Adams saw at least 248 plays between 1794 and 1800. (10) He told the American actor James Henry Hackett, “my admiration of Shakespeare is little short of idolatry.” (11) In 1839, when Hackett wrote to Adams saying that he had recently heard of an analysis by the latter of Shakespeare’s ‘Othello,’ Adams noted in his diary: “This extension of my fame is more tickling to my vanity than it was to be elected President of the United States.” (12) Hackett later published Adams’ correspondence with him regarding Shakespeare.

When Louisa asked Adams why he frequented the theatre, he replied:

I have all my life had a very extravagant fondness for that species of entertainment, and always indulge myself with it, unless when motives of prudence or propriety or pride, or duty of some kind, real or imaginary, prescribe to me the self-denial of them. … The stage has been to me a source of much amusement, for more than forty-years. But I have always enjoyed it with discretion. First with reference to expense; but secondly and chiefly with respect to morals. To which end, I have made it a rule to make no acquaintance with actresses. (13)
