The Bard: Beautiful, Bold and Bawdy
by William Shakespeare
29 Mar 2015 · The Athenaeum, Octagon
In a fast moving tour de force, 20 actors present an evening of scenes from 14 plays to showcase how Shakespeare connected, or disconnected people. Couples fall in love, fight against it, destroy those about them, or each other. Fathers are fools before their daughters. Sons mock their mothers. This show is a not to be missed opportunity to enjoy our brightest, boldest, and bawdiest playwright.
