Event
WICKED WILDE SHAKESPEARE FESTIVAL - LOVERS AND MADMEN
Lovers and Madmen is a selection of scenes from Shakespeare performed by an all female, student cast playing both men and women. This "greatest hits" of the Bard will showcase some of Shakespeare's most dauntingly well-known texts, from comic to tragic and back again, and audiences will experience an inverted version of the Elizabethan practice of male actors playing everyone from Coriolanus to Cleopatra. You'll meet some of the murderers, kings, thieves, lovers and clowns whose words have become common parlance in the English-speaking world, all the while deftly exploring the meta-theatrical commentary on gender and sexuality inherent in Shakespeare's writing. The actors: high school and college students being mentored in the various crafts of theater-making during the festival, part of LAWSC's continuing mission to be of service to the greater community. Don't miss this amazing opportunity to contribute to the confidence and growth of the next generation of theater artists, simply by being there! Two performances only.
