[NEohioPAL] Come Celebrate the 400th Anniversary of Shakespeare's Death with An Ohio Premier!

[Gary Maher via NEohioPAL]

William Shakespeare passed away 400 years ago this month and every 100 years
or so it's time for him to roll over. Enter the Hudson Players current
production of People vs Friar Laurence - The Man Who Killed Romeo and
Juliet. An Ohio premier, this hilarious musical comedy, by Ron West and Phil
Swann, is told in a style that combines The Second City, Monty Python and
Shakespeare all in one great show! With a small core of actors playing a
wide variety of roles, the show has quick changes and an even faster pace,
resulting in rapid fire humor. After all, what better way to celebrate
Shakespeare's death than with a show that would have killed him with
laughter? 

 

The show begins with Friar Laurence from Romeo and Juliet fame, behind bars
and charged with the murder of the two young lovers. The twisted trial
progresses into a Vaudeville-like mayhem in the race to determine the plot
behind the ultimate blame for Romeo and Juliet's demise at the feet of Friar
Laurence. The fast-moving freight train of characters and non-stop
Shakespearean spoof of adventure takes the audience on a musical journey of
love, confusion and chaos.  The show, a smash hit for Chicago Shakespeare
Theater, is the funniest mash up of Shakespeare, sketch comedy, and American
theater you've ever seen (with a lot of fun music thrown in to boot).

 

The show runs April 29, 30, May 6, 7, 13, 14, 20, 21, 22, 27 & 28. Tickets
can be purchase via the Hudson Players website at www.HudsonPlayers.com
<http://www.HudsonPlayers.com>  or via phone at 330-655-8522. Don't miss
this great opportunity to see a fun, different, musical comedy and Ohio
premier. 

"The People vs. Friar Laurence does to Romeo and Juliet what Mel Brooks did
to Robin Hood and westerns, though it may be even wittier." -Lansing City
