This year’s show, “Shakespeare Shorts”, will give audiences a taste of several classic works by reducing 3 tragedies “Hamlet”, Romeo and Juliet, and “Macbeth” into 30 minute one-act plays, and will also include “The most lamentable comedy, and most cruel death of Pyramus and Thisby”, a comedic interlude from “A Midsummer Night’s Dream”. After the success of the wildly popular comedy “Complete Works of William Shakespeare, Abridged” in 2010 Stage Left decided to bring back the reduced works concept by exploring Shakespeare’s three most famous plays in this format. With a narrator to update, explain, and segue into each scene there’s not a chance that even the most unfamiliar viewer could get confused. </span><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal align=center style='text-align:center'><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal align=center style='text-align:center'><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'>Though the years Stage Left has discovered that, when reduced, many of the tragedies are actually quite funny so there’s no danger of overloading on tragedy. In fact, with the unconventional casting, fast pacing, and comically talented cast this production promises to be a wacky and wonderful way to spend a late summer evening. This gifted repertory cast, including many Shakespeare in the Square veterans returning to “play in the Square again”, perform a whirlwind of characters at a break neck pace in near perfect comedic timing. </span><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal align=center style='text-align:center'><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal align=center style='text-align:center'><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'>Shakespeare in the Square 2013 will take place September 13th, 14th, and 15th in the The Square, in Medina Ohio. Friday and Saturday performances start at 7:30, the Sunday matinee begins at 2 PM. Audiences are encouraged to bring a blanket or lawn chair, perhaps a picnic or some snacks. The performances are family friendly so it’s an excellent opportunity to share the experience of live theatre with the whole family. And it won’t drain your wallet because it’s FREE, but donations gladly accepted. </span><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
