"LOT O' SHAKESPEARE" - Shakespeare via the Lottery
"Imagine the most educational show that you've ever seen and then imagine a show more educational (and a lot more fun) than that!"

Timothy Mooney has memorized one monologue from every Shakespeare play, capturing the most stirring speeches, the most wicked double-entendres, and the most delicious sonorous soliloquies ever to emerge from Shakespeare's pen! Following rave reviews at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival and around the United States, Lot o' Shakespeare, a dynamic tour de force of vocal and physical pyrotechnics, is coming to the Oil Lamp Theater on July 19th and 20th at 8pm!

Lot o' Shakespeare features 38 monologues chosen entirely at random by the spinning of a Bingo cage! The audience plays along on their individual "IAGO" cards, and the first to match four plays in a row wins a t-shirt! And while the game turns it all into fun, in the process the audience discovers the breadth, the excitement and genius of Shakespeare in passionate scenes of action, character and power!

Mooney's performance is literate, enthusiastic, and athletic, bounding from Shakespeare's hilarious Comedies, to his passionate Tragedies, to his epic histories, all at the drop of a ping-pong ball! Audiences everywhere have been astonished to discover just how contemporary, vivid and playfully fulfilling these plays are. KC Stage (5 Stars) called it "energetic and engaging a 60-minute tour de force!" The Indianapolis Fringe reviews shouted "Bravo!" "Even better than Kenneth Branagh's Oscar-nominated performance!" "My head is still reeling over his Antony speech from Julius Caesar!"

Lot o' Shakespeare was a hit at the Orlando Fringe Fest: "Flat out riveting." (TheDailyCity.com). "Like a house afire." (Wordpress.com); "His St. Crispin's Day speech made me want to take up arms with him." (Orlando Sentinel). At the Minnesota Fringe: "Expressive, funny, intelligent makes the language, the stories alive in a rare way," "A one-man dynamo! A banquet of delights!" Mooney is about to bring "Lot o' Shakespeare" back to the Oregon Shakespeare Festival "Green Show" for a demand return performance!
