Abridged from 100 hours to 90 minutes, in this story, an ancient grudge pits Puck (from Midsummer) against Ariel (from The Tempest) and turns Shakespeare’s canon upside-down, creating such strange bedfellows as Hamlet and that master motivator Lady Macbeth, Viola and Richard III, King Lear and the Weird Sisters, and (of course) Dromio and Juliet.</div><div style="margin:0.5em 0px 0px;font-family:"Segoe UI Historic","Segoe UI",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;color:rgb(8,8,9);font-size:15px">In the vein of the playwrights' other work, "The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged)," we are seeking 3 actors of any age and gender to play a bear, a ghost, multiple sets of twins, royals, drunks, and any number of Shakespeare's classic characters.</div><div style="margin:0.5em 0px 0px;font-family:"Segoe UI Historic","Segoe UI",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;color:rgb(8,8,9);font-size:15px">Auditions will consist of cold readings from the script. They will be held on May 19 and 20 at the Albany Masonic Temple, 67 Corning Place, Albany, NY 12207. Sign-ins begin at 6:30, with auditions starting at 7:00. Rehearsals will be scheduled based on cast availability.</div><div style="margin:0.5em 0px 0px;font-family:"Segoe UI Historic","Segoe UI",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;color:rgb(8,8,9);font-size:15px">Performances will be held at the Shaker Heritage Society at 25 Meeting House Road, Albany, NY 12211, on August 1-3 and 7-10.
