Tickets for the current production of The Baron's Men, The Curate Shakespeare As You Like It, are still available for the two final weekends. When Don Nigro, the author, was asked to adapt As You Like It so that it could be performed by seven people, he devised an original work about a ragtag group of players who must present Shakespeare's play in the face of near-impossible challenges. Since its creation, it has become an underground comic classic. This production is Austin's premiere, and it is presented with special arrangement by Samuel French.
The show opened on March 1, 2018, and will run Thursdays through Saturdays over the next two weekends: March 8-10 and March 15-17, beginning at 8 p.m. There will be a special date night event on Saturday, March 10th. On that evening, participants will feast on a sumptuous dinner and receive a fun goody bag full of items that will allow them to interact with the show.
The Curtain Theatre, a replica of William Shakespeare's Globe Theatre, is located on the Lake Austin property of computer game developer and entrepreneur Richard Garriott. The address is 7400 Coldwater Canyon Dr. in Austin.
