Hilarious Shakespeare Musical DELEARIOUS Extends at Open Fist  Image
deLEARious - Extended through Jan. 27. Tragedy meets hilarity and King Lear gets a happy ending in a madcap musical romp à la Mel Brooks and Monty Python.

Open Fist Theatre Company revives its smash hit production of this award-winning play-within-a-play by Second City's Ron West and composer Phil Swann, Ron and Phil are writing about King James I and Shakespeare - who in turn are writing about the legendary King Lear.
