Penny Seats Theatre Company Opens THE COMPLETE WORKS OF WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE (ABRIDGED) This Week
The Penny Seats Theatre Company opens its fifth summer season at West Park tomorrow, 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. 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 will star 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. Patrons are encouraged to bring a picnic dinner to enjoy at the park before or during the show. Lawn chairs, hats, bug spray, and other outdoor gear are also encouraged. Alcohol may also be brought and enjoyed responsibly. Water and concessions will be available for purchase. The Penny Seats' next show, Urinetown: the Musical!, opens at the park on July 30th and will run for three weeks, until August 15th. More information about tickets, parking, and available packages, is available on the company's website, www.pennyseats.org.
