Inspired by the horrific winter of last year, Duplicity Ensemble combines two of Shakespeare's greatest plays to create a comedy to combat cabin fever. Four lovers crash into the quiet cabin of an old couple on a stormy night only to discover it's not as quiet as it seems. Magic, poetry, and muffins make for a heartwarming 90 minutes. But will everything get set right when everything goes wrong?
Written by ensemble members Anne Walaszek and Nathan Wonder, this modern Shakespeare mash-up is directed by Mike Hamilton. Mike Hamilton holds a B.F.A. in Theatre Performance from Virginia Commonwealth University. Primarily a performer in Chicago, he has worked with The Neofuturists, The Building Stage, Griffin Theatre Company, Awkward Pause, Redmoon, Alluvium Group, Lights Out Theatre, and coming up will be in Jackalope's new play Lunacy!
The cast of A Midwinter Night's Tale includes Eliza Rose Fichter, Amanda Giles, Matthew Lunt, Kit Rivers, Charlotte Thomas, and Kyle Whalen.
