The internationally acclaimed Shenandoah Shakespeare Express is an energetic ensemble that performs under conditions closely approximating those for which Shakespeare wrote. In short the SSE aims to give audiences some of the pleasures that an Elizabethan playgoer would have enjoyed. Throughout the year, the SSE tours the nation performing Shakespeare's plays in rotating repertory. This year's Pestle marks the SSE's first foray into the plays of Shakespeare's contemporaries.
