[Capdist-announce] Just one weekend left to see The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged)" at the Ghent Playhouse

[trpwme at aol.com]

The criticshave spoken and audiences are in stitches...with full houses lastweekend, and just three more shows to go, "Complete Works" at the GhentPlayhouse is a hit! The show is an irreverent romp through ALL ofShakespeare's work, originally created by the Reduced Shakespeare Company andadapted for the Ghent Playhouse stage by co-directors TonyPallone and Colleen Lovett.

Don't miss your last chance to see this masterwork of Shakespearean deconstruction as you've never seen it before: Despite the fact that the original RSC production was done with three male actors,Pallone and Lovett have taken considerable liberty with the script and expanded the castto two men and three women...and, as Berkshire Bright Focus critic J. Peter Bergman reports, "The directors have fortunately chosen the right actors…(they) take command of the stage and manage to stay themselves, or parodies of themselves, as they take on the great array of characters devised by Big Bill S, King of the Stage." 

Bergman continues: "This is a show that delivers on the promise of its title and, if it doesn’t bring you every word, you leave with quotes swimming through your brain and a giggle in your heart. Big Bill S. would be pleased." And the set, costumes and lighting design are nothing short of brilliant, either; reviewer Gail Burns of "Gail Sez" even goes to far as to say "I think the Reduced Shakespeare Company should swing by, take a look, and hire this design team tout suite!"



Theshow features Roseann Cane, Matt MacArevey, Prudence J.M. Theriault,Tracy Trimm and Jen Van Iderstyne. Produced by Tom Detwiler, the crewalso includes Matt Sikora (Stage Manager), Bill Visscher (Set Design),Dave Malsan (Lighting Design) and Joanne Maurer (Costumes).

So get thee to the box office! Remaining performances are Jan 29-31, Friday and Saturday at 8pm and Sunday at 2 pm. Tickets are $15/$12 for Ghent PlayhouseMembers. Call 392-6264 for reservations, or visit www.ghentplayhouse.org for more information.

And do it FASTER!
