Acorn Productions' Shakespeare Ensemble, a group dedicated to encouraging audiences to re-experience Shakespeare's language and imagery, continues its Naked Shakespeare performances with "Will You Be Mine?" part of the monthly 'Sonnet and Soliloquies' series. These performances will feature eight to ten company members performing short selections from Shakespeare's text at the Wine Bar at 38 Wharf St. in Portland's Old Port. Each selection is presented by the actors in a contemporary scenario that highlights the universal nature of Shakespeare's language. Actors will be mingled in and around the audience, delivering sonnets and soliloquies conversationally to one another and the audience in unexpected ways that will allow listeners to find new meaning in the text. The performance of "Will You Be Mine?" takes place on Monday, February 6th at 8 p.m. The show is free with an $8 suggested donation.
