Come One, Come All
With a twist of originality and humor, The Green Mountain Shakespeare Company, performs The Complete Works of Shakespeare (abridged). This comical and fast moving performance is one of London's longest-running comedies.
Just in this one performance, the actors will cover all of Shakespeare's Comedies, Histories and Tragedies. To my surprise, the works of Shakespeare were twisted into this play very well. The amusing performance left me laughing out loud at times. With modern day music, hilarious props, and outrageous costumes, this was an entertaining way to get the summary of Shakespeare's famous plays, into just a couple hours.
I am sure you are wondering how 16th century plays, that are over 400 years old, can be presented modernly. After sitting through their dress rehearsal last night, it was clear that this play was transformed not only into something modern, but also comical and unique.
Joe Bieja, Marc Brunco, Freddie Losambe and Isaac Tanney immediately present humor in the opening act of the play. The performance was very unpredictable and it kept me wondering what the actors were going to do next. They kept me on the edge of my seat—because I never knew if they were going to walk over to me; they kept the audience involved. Whether it was asking questions or taking a seat next to an audience member, it was truly unpredictable.
If you are worried about not understanding the play, because you are not familiar with Shakespeare, don't be. I have had little exposure with Shakespeare's work, but that is what made the play entertaining for me. It was not only educational, but it was amusing.
Adam Brabant, an LSC student and the director of the play, has done a good job putting the show together. Show dates are December 2 and 3 at 8 p.m. in ASAC 100. There is no cover charge.
