In the past 51 years The Mount Players have never performed any of Shakespeare’s plays – but that is being quickly rectified.
President Karen Hunt said the Players would be attempting all of them in one night. Thirty-seven plays in 97 minutes with three actors. “What could possibly go wrong?”
Karen said The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged) was a delightful, fast-paced romp through the bard’s work as three manic men in tights hurtle through all of Shakespeare’s plays, leaving the audience in stitches.
“The Mount Players join FizzWack Theatre to bring a show that takes those long, sometimes tedious and serious subjects, and condenses them down into a couple of hours of frivolity. If you love Shakespeare, you will love this show. If you hate Shakespeare, you will love this show.”
The performance runs from August 18 to 26. For details and bookings head to www.themountplayers.com or call 5426 1892.
