[NEohioPAL] DOUBLE HEART: FREE One Night Only Performance July 7

[David Hansen]

DOUBLE HEART: The Courtship of Beatrice and Benedick
FREE One Night Only Performance!

DOUBLE HEART (The Courtship of Beatrice and Benedick), a new verse play by
David Hansen and directed by Lisa Ortenzi, will be presented at the
Reinberger Auditorium, home to Talespinner Children's Theatre, 5209 Detroit
Avenue in Cleveland for one night only, on Sunday, July 7 at 7 PM. This
performance is FREE and open to the public.

DOUBLE HEART, an imagined prequel to Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing,
envisions the early courtship of Beatrice and Benedick, providing a
fascinating back story to Shakespeare’s timeless tale. Written in poetic
verse, the play is a celebration of great characters and enthralling
language. DOUBLE HEART is appropriate for audiences 12 and up.

"You don’t have to know a thing about Much Ado to get a major buzz from
Double Heart ... The language is funny and at times quite elegant and wise
about issues of the heart." -- Christine Howey, Rave and Pan (Cleveland)

Originally commissioned and produced by Great Lakes Theater as an
educational outreach tour, DOUBLE HEART traveled to 23 sites across
Northeast Ohio in early 2013, and seen by an audience of over 2,400. This
performance and the FringeNYC production are independent ventures, produced
by members of the touring company.

This performance features the original company of artists as the GLT
outreach touring production: Cleveland actors David Hansen, Annie Hickey,
Emily Pucell, and James Rankin. The design trio of Terry Martin (scenic
design), Esther Haberlen (costume design) and Richard Ingraham (sound
design) complete the play’s production team. Lisa Ortenzi, the director of
the touring production, also serves as Great Lakes Theater’s Associate
Director of Education.

This free performance of DOUBLE HEART: The Courtship of Beatrice and
Benedick is to celebrate and prepare for this production having been
selected as part of the 17th annual New York International Fringe Festival
(FringeNYC), the largest multi-arts festival in North America, with more
than 200 companies from all over the world performing for 16 days in more
than 20 venues.  FringeNYC venue and dates to be announced in early July.
