Naked Shakes:  The Actor and the Word
 
 
Naked Shakes is now in its 12th season at University of California Santa Barbara, and its mission since 2006 has been to present energetic, exciting, raw, vibrant Shakespeare using the power of the actors and the language.  Naked Shakes believes in the transformation of the actor and the space, along with the imaginative ability of the audience.  The barren physical theater space is very important to the Naked Shakes concept; it takes on the identity of whatever locale or particular piece of poetic language is described, and yet always reminds the audience they are in a theater.  When Prospero in The Tempest describes “the great Globe itself,” he is not only referring to the entire Earth, but also the “Globe” Theater – Shakespeare’s theater.  That duality is what Naked Shakes is all about.
