The Players Hosts 'Project Shaw' And Present 2 1/2 One-Acts

The Players and Project Shaw presents two and a half wacky one-acts.

ONE: THE DARK LADY OF THE SONNETS,
In which Will Shakespeare meets Elizabeth I on a moolit night ! Is she the fabled Dark Lady ?

TWO: SHAKES VERSUS SHAV, *
In which Shaw and Shakespeare (and several of their literary characters) duke it out ! Who wins ?

And 1/2: CYMBELINE REFINISHED,
In which Shaw sends up the endlessly confusing final Shakespearean act of CYMBELINE, bringing us a speedy and happilly larkishish finale! (All 10+ characters will be played by the devilishly dexterous and felicitously flexible Daniel Jenkins and Robert Stanton)

Jollity for January!
* we know the poster says 'SHAKES VERSUS SHAW' and the title is really 'SHAKES VERSUS SHAV'. Oh, well.

Performances are open to the public and tickets go on sale the first of the month.

George Bernard Shaw opened July 26, 1856 - went on tour November 2, 1950
Born in Dublin. His first success was as a music and literary critic, but he was drawn to drama. He decided to write plays. He was fiercely proud of being a free-thinking humanist. He and Al Gore are the only people to have been awarded both a Nobel Prize and an Oscar: (Nobel in 1925 for his contribution to literature, an Oscar in 1938 for his PYGMALION screenplay). His dedication to the battle for Human Rights for all, and encouraging all people to forge an individual path in life while taking responsibility for these life choices has been our inspiration. Now in its third of four years, Project Shaw will present every play ever written by Shaw. Come join us for our fourth year!

Project Shaw performs at New York's most legendary private club, The Players. Located at 16 Gramercy Park South, (which is the equivilent of 20th Street east of Park Avenue). In 1888, Edwin Booth, America's pre-eminent Shakespearean actor, and 15 other incorporators, including Mark Twain and General William Tecumseh Sherman, founded The Players. Modeled after London's famed theatrical club, The Garrick. The Players was the first American club of its kind.
