Conceived and directed by Zachary Fine, a renowned actor and clown who appeared at FSC in 2012 in The Way of the World and appeared this summer at Hudson Valley Shakespeare in Measure for Measure, this family-friendly clown play tells the story of a servant named Dennis, a character who appears once in William Shakespeare's As You Like It merely to announce that, "so please you," there is a wrestler at the door! Taking as its inspiration a single moment of Shakespearean mischief, Hudson Valley Shakespeare Festival's Conservatory Company has created a "tragical-comical, comical-tragical" tale around one of Shakespeare's (almost) silent and definitely unexpected heroes! Suitable for all ages, this mosaic of Shakespearean history and language has something for everyone.
