The Players and Project Shaw presents two and a half wacky one-acts. ONE: THE DARK LADY OF THE SONNETS, In which Will Shakespeare meets Elizabeth I on a moolit night ! Is she the fabled Dark Lady ? TWO: SHAKES VERSUS SHAV, * In which Shaw and Shakespeare (and several of their literary characters) duke it out ! Who wins ? And 1/2: CYMBELINE REFINISHED, In which Shaw sends up the endlessly confusing final Shakespearean act of CYMBELINE, bringing us a speedy and happilly larkishish finale! (All 10+ characters will be played by the devilishly dexterous and felicitously flexible Daniel Jenkins and Robert Stanton !)
