The Close Work Project is a series of two-hander scenes from Shakespeare's canon with a focus on emotional connections and physical proximity. Featuring local artists and GVSF veterans, each scene is bookended by a short breakdown interview of the actors' interpretative choices, driven by clues found in the text.
