The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged)
Teenaged high school students may have very little in common with their parents, their grandparents or even their great grandparents. But if there is one thing that can breech the generation gap, it is that very few of them enjoyed studying the works of William Shakespeare in school. Although the Bard’s themes and stories echo through the ages, his language can be challenging to understand. But Central High School students are up to this challenge! This April, CHS Drama will present the hilarious play The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged) by Adam Long, Daniel Singer and Jess Winfield.
In a matter of 100 minutes or less, students will perform portions of all 37 plays in a fast paced and original show. Titus Andronicus is presented as a cooking show, Othello is performed in rap lyrics, and all the Histories are presented as a football game. By mixing the Shakespearian language with modern language and themes, humor, improv and local color, The Complete Works will probably teach you more about the Bard than any high school class ever did! Come and see Romeo and Juliet fall in love (sort of) and watch EVERYONE die (messily) in Hamlet. This is a show that will bring all the generations together and leave them laughing!
The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged) will have two performances on Friday, April 7th and Saturday, April 8th at 7pm in the Central High School auditorium located at 1 Lincoln Blvd, Bridgeport, CT. Tickets are $6 when purchased in advance and $8 the day of the show. All proceeds to benefit Central High School Theatre.
