Surfside Players Present THE COMPLEAT WRKS OF WLLM SHKSPR (Abridged)

By:

Surfside Players are set to present A Farcical Lesson in Literature: THE COMPLEAT WRKS OF WLLM SHKSPR (Abridged).

By Adam Long, Daniel Singer, and Jess Winfield
Directed by Janet Rubin

Oh no! Did you have that nightmare where you're back in high school English class and spent the whole year not studying the material, and now you've got a term paper and a final exam on William Shakespeare's entire body of work? And also you're in your underwear? We at SURFSIDE PLAYERS can help you with most of those problems!

Take Highway A1A to Fifth Street South in Cocoa Beach for one night from November 4 - 20 (Fridays and Saturdays 8:00pm, Sundays 2:00pm). Professors David Hill, Adam Karolick, and Chris Fellows and their six teaching assistants will offer you a crash course in the Bard of Avon, architect of the modern English language. More fun than Spark Notes and almost as accurate, we will cover all thirty-seven plays in two hours!

The New York Daily News wrote of THE COMPLEAT WRKS OF WLLM SHKSPR (ABRIDGED): "This irreverent deconstruction of Shakespeare's work makes a dilly of poor Willy. A fantasia of zany energy that throws together Monty Python-ish drag and Mel Brook-ish anything-for-a-laugh gags."

Tickets to this "seminar" are just $18 for adults, $16 for seniors and active military, $13 for students. Call (321) 783-3127 for reservations and information about group rates. CAUTION: Despite your English teacher's best efforts to keep it a secret, William Shakespeare used very naughty language.

Directed by Janet Rubin. Presented by special arrangement with Broadway Play Publishing. To get to Surfside from the mainland, take 520 or 528 eastbound to A1A southbound, or take Pineda, Eau Gallie, or 192 eastbound to A1A northbound. Drive into Cocoa Beach. Turn west on Fifth Street South. For more info, call (321) 783-3127 or visit www.surfsideplayers.com.
