Have a good laugh – and why not pass the gift of The Bard on to your kids?
Spring has arrived and there’s some fresh new energy in the air. In this spirit, Lunchbox Theatre has invited Studio 42 to stage its sidesplitting play ‘The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged)’ in Plettenberg Bay on Saturday, November 2.
There will be two opportunities to see this 90-minute laugh-a-minute at St Peter’s Church: a matinee at 3 pm and an evening performance at 7 pm. The hilarious production has brought the house down on every single one of its previous 12 performances.
Without giving away too much… The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged)’ brings together three actors from Sedgefield – Nita Allsopp, Gareth Pretorius, and Bomber Webb – in a mad-cap attempt to include The Bard’s masterpieces into a single theatrical experience
“As a show, it is joyfully choreographed chaos,” says director Melanie Baumeister, adding that Shakespeare fans simply love it.
“Even those who have never dabbled in anything by The Bard have leapt to their feet and cheered. From high-school children to octogenarians, it seems the universal funny bone is truly tickled by The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged)’.”
Only 120 seats are available per show, so please visit www.qkt.io/leP6ef to secure your place at once, or grab some tickets from Barneys Info Kiosk at The Market Square shopping centre in Plett.
All proceeds from the shows will help to educate local school children on the topics of environment, animal care and health issues through live theatre educational shows. Check out www.lunchbox.org. za/our-shows/ for details, and see the advert on page 9 for additional information.
