The Penny Seats Theatre Company just opened its fifth summer season at West Park with a three-week run of The Complete Works of William Shakespeare [Abridged]. This hilarious parody features three actors attempting valiantly to perform every Shakespearean work in a mere 90 minutes. BroadwayWorld has photos from opening night below!
It was first performed by its authors, Adam Long, Daniel Singer, and Jess Winfield, at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 1987, and it has gained meteoric fame in the years since, becoming one of the world's most popular shows. The actors move frantically from piece to piece, donning and doffing costumes and wigs, hurling well-timed insults at one another, and frequently interacting with the audience.
The show stars Matt Cameron, Artun Kircali, and Leanne Young, and is directed by Anne Levy.
Advance tickets are available for $10 at www.pennyseats.org, or at (734) 926-5346. They will also be available at the door. The show (most suitable for patrons aged 13 and up due to language) will run July 9, 10, 11, 16, 17, 23, 24, and 25 at 7:00pm, and on July 19th at 2:00pm. (There is no show July 18th.) All performances will be at the West Park band shell.
