Acorn Theatre Presents NAKED SHAKESPEARE, 9/13
by BWW News Desk - September 13, 2010
The Acorn Shakespeare Ensemble presents the second annual outdoor installment of the company's popular 'Sonnets and Soliloquies' on Monday, September 13 at 5:30 p.m. in Monument Square in Portland (rain date is Thursday, September 16th). The performance begins with table side sonnets, and continues with a sequence of speeches and short scenes from various plays, including 4 selections from Double Falsehood, a play that scholars have recently concluded was a late-period collaboration between Shakespeare and John Fletcher. This performance marks the first time these words will have been spoken in performance in over 200 years! With the help of Gorham-based Transformit, Naked Shakespeare will transform the square into a vibrant performance space through the use of Transformit's signature colorful fabric installations. While members of the public are welcome to watch the performance as they pass through the square after work, there will also be a more formal audience area set aside as a 'beer garden' in which beer and wine and hors d'oeuvres will be served. Speeches and scenes will be introduced by Joe the Actor and Prof. Grand L. O'Quence, reprising their popular appearances from last year. The performance is free with a $10 suggested donation requested to support the work of Naked Shakespeare.
