Updated / Wednesday, 13 Feb 2019 16:14 Kenneth Branagh as William Shakespeare in All Is True Opinion: one of the most well-known modern Shakespeareans just so happens to be an Irishman, albeit one enmeshed in the English theatrical tradition Kenneth Branaghs latest film  All Is True  depicts the latter stages of William Shakespeares life, as he retires to Stratford-upon-Avon following the burning down of the Globe Theatre in 1613 during a performance of Henry VIII. Indeed, the films title riffs off the alternative title of that play. This being Branagh and Shakespeare, the film stars some of the biggest heavyweights in modern Shakespearean theatre. Judi Dench plays Shakespeares wife Anne Hathaway, Ian McKellen plays the Earl of Southampton (curiously depicted as much older than Shakespeare) and Branagh dons a wig and beard to play Shakespeare himself. Branagh is perhaps one of the most renowned Shakespeareans of the modern age, if not the most renowned. His work in the 1980s and 1990s with the Royal Shakespeare Company and Renaissance Theatre Company have long been documented. He made his debut at the RSC starring in Henry V in 1984 at the age of 23, which made him the youngest Henry in the companys history. In 1989, he brought Henry V to the big screen in which was his directorial debut: that film would earn him Oscar nominations for Best Picture and Best Director. From RTÉ Radio 1's Arena, an interview with Kenneth Branagh about All Is True He has played Hamlet four times on stage and screen, including his 1996 four-hour feature-length version. In recent years, he has directed himself as Macbeth at the 2013 Manchester International Festival and as Leontes in the Kenneth Branagh Theatre Companys 2015 production of The Winters Tale, as well as directing Tom Hiddleston as Hamlet in the 2017 Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA) fundraiser. And thats not to mention his film adaptations of Much Ado About Nothing, As You Like It and Loves Labours Lost, his performances as Richard III and Coriolanus, and so on. The label of "the new [Laurence] Olivier" has followed Branagh around for much of his career and, given Oliviers extensive work on Shakespeare on stage and screen, its not hard to see the comparison. Trailer for All Is True As we can see, Branagh tends to be primarily associated with Shakespeare. Shakespeare is perhaps the most famous writer in the Western canon, but he is also a ubiquitous symbol of Englishness, and of English cultural hegemony and imperialism. Branagh has long been associated and subsumed within the apparatus of English Shakespeares. Indeed, he even commenced the 2012 London Olympics by reciting "This isle is full of noises"  while dressed as Isambard Kingdom Brunel and he also accepted a knighthood in 2012. However, there is also the matter of Branaghs Irish background, which cannot be so easily disentangled from his work. He was born in Belfast to a Protestant family in 1960 and moved to Reading at the age of 10 when the Troubles were at their height. The subject of Branaghs Irishness, and whether Branagh can or should actually consider himself Irish, continues to be raised in the press. He famously said to an interviewer that "I feel Irish. I dont think you can take Belfast out of the boy. From RTÉ 1's Six One News, Kenneth Branagh talks about the impact his childhood in Belfast had on his career as an actor and director Branagh has spoken of the difficulty of fitting in as Irish in 1970s Reading. In a  2003 interview in the Telegraph, he said he was enormously conscious of his Irish accent and swiftly "became English at school while remaining Irish at home.  It was, he says now, a dreadfully uneasy compromise about which I suffered inordinate guilt. Given this forced dichotomy between Englishness in public and Irishness in private – especially during a time when Anglo-Irish relations were especially tense, and when anti-Irish sentiment was particularly virulent – young Branaghs feelings of guilt are revealing. So too are his comments about his time studying at RADA. Besides noting that "not a trace of Branaghs Belfast accent remains" a recent Irish Times interview  also features Branagh reflecting on the inclusion of ‘a "received pronunciation" exam at RADA "There was no desire to knock out our accents. But we needed to be able to speak that way if required. Of course, this speaks to the assumption that Shakespeare can only be spoken in Received Pronunciation, particularly within the apparatus of British Shakespearean theatrical institutions. But, as we know, a Shakespeare production doesnt necessarily need to sound like RP in order to be adequately "Shakespearean. We need only look at Patrick Lonergans recent Brainstorm article on Irish Shakespearean productions to see this. Kenneth Branagh as William Shakespeare in All Is True: one of the most well-known and established modern Shakespeareans just so happens to be an Irishman" What does it mean to speak Shakespeare with an Irish accent – whether from Belfast, Dublin, Galway, or elsewhere? And – this is a larger question – how does one signify Irishness, or should one feel as if they must signify it? After all, Irishness is not a uniform entity or experience across this island. In the case of Branaghs Irishness, the absence of a noticeable Northern accent leads to commentary. But in the case of speaking Shakespeare, anything less than an English accent also leads to commentary. Assessing how Englishness and Irishness intersect and interact in the career and public persona of an actor such as Branagh feels considerably pertinent as the uncertainty over Brexit and the consequences the referendum has had, and may have, for Anglo-Irish relations grows. Nonetheless, the fact remains that one of the most well-known and established modern Shakespeareans just so happens to be an Irishman - but an Irishman entrenched and enmeshed in the English theatrical tradition.

About 12 hours ago via Facebook The Shakespeare & Company community is very saddened to learn of the passing of Johnny Lee Davenport. Johnny Lee was a superb actor and a great friend to so many, a caring and dynamic presence, and a champion of younger actors trying to make their way in the world. He will be sorely missed, and in his memory we will always, as he used to say, hold a good thought.

This is so wonderful. Legjobbb vagy nagyon imadlak jo a hangod helyes vagx cuki vagy. ❤❤❤💏. YouTube. Absolute genius with a terrific sense of humour. My absolute favorite actor. I absolutely Love Patsy. #Genius /Legend. Very often actors take the humanity out of Shakespeare. This is very refreshing to see. Human beings have always been human beings. Customs have changed, culture has changed, language has changed, clothing has changed but humans have always loved, lost, gone to sleep and woken up. Saw this production while studying abroad at Oxford. Most amazing production ever.

Home  >  Archive  > Kenneth Branagh Theatre Company Kenneth Branagh Theatre Company  Plays  at the Garrick  in London After the unprecedented success of Michael Grandages season of plays at the Noel Coward theatre in 2014, the acclaimed actor-director Kenneth Branagh presents five productions, including two Shakespeare, which will bring together the cream of British acting talent including Rob Brydon, Dame Judi Dench and Derek Jacobi plus rising stars Lily James and Richard Madden. Romeo and Juliet Kenneth Branagh directs Richard Madden ( Lady Chatterleys Lover,  Game of Thrones) and Lily James ( War and Peace,  Downton Abbey) in Shakespeares ultimate tragedy Romeo and Juliet. The two young stars have recently been paired in Disneys 2015 Cinderella, but this time around the young lovers will not live happily ever after. Playing the part of Romeos kinsman, Mercrutio, will be Derek Jacobi who is no stranger to Shakespeare having appeared in The Tempest, Macbeth, Richard III, Much Ado About Nothin g and, more recently, Twelfth Nigh t. TV viewers will recognise him as lovable Alan Buttershaw in the BBC drama Last Tango in Halifax. The latest name to add to the cast list is Meera Syal who in 2012 appeared in an Indian themed version of Much Ado About Nothing  at the Royal Shakespeare Theatre in Stratford upon Avon. PLEASE NOTE THAT FREDDIE FOX WILL PLAY ROMEO AT CERTAIN PERFORMANCES Romeo and Juliet runs at the Garrick theatre from  12 May – 13 August 2016 The Entertainer In the last play in this tremendous season,  Kenneth Branagh stars as the unforgettable Archie Rice in John Osborns The Entertainer – a role made famous by Laurence Olivier when the play was first performed at the Royal Court theatre in 1957. Having already written a play about “an angry young man” Olivier asked Osborn to write one about “an angry middle-aged man” and the result was this post-war modern classic conjuring up the seedy glamour of the old music halls with an explosive examination of public masks and private torment. The Entertainer runs at the Garrick theatre  20 August 2016 – 12 November 2016 This remarkable set of plays are on at the Garrick Theatre just by Londons famous Leicester Square – a great venue for a London theatre break as it is right in the heart of the West End, just mintes from Covent Garden, Trafalgar Square and Piccadilly Circus. This is where you will be able to experience this multimedia rich electrifying spectacle which takes you back to the magical sixties when all you needed was love, and a little help from your friends! Ticket and hotel packages for Kenneth Branagh Theatre Company Plays at the Garrick   Theatre Breaks are available to 12th November 2016. If you are looking for hotels close by there is the contemporary 4 star  Radisson Blu Edwardian Leicester Square or the 3 star Travelodge Covent Garden. The 4 star Strand Palace Hotel is not far too and of course there is always the 5 star  Savoy!

Joining the cast for both The Winters Tale and Harlequinade is Spooks star Miranda Raison, dashing Tom Bateman, recently seen as The Bard himself in Shakespeare in Love and Jessie Buckley who played opposite Jude Laws Henry V at the Noel Coward theatre in 2014. The Winters Tale will run in rep at the Garrick theatre from  17 October 2015 – 16 January 2016 Captioned performances – 7. 30pm Wednesday 9 December 2015 Audio Described performance – 7. 30pm Wednesday 16 December 2015 Harlequinade Running alongside and complimenting The Winters Tale is Terence Rattigans Harlequinade a rarely seen comic gem from the British playwright whose other works include The Winslow Boy, The Browning Version and The Deep Blue Sea. As a classical theatre company attempts to produce The Winters Tale and Romeo and Juliet, many intrigues and dalliances are accidently revealed with increasingly chaotic and hysterical consequences. Kenneth Branagh will perform and co-direct with Rob Ashford. Harlequinade will run in rep at the Garrick theatre from  24 October 2015 – 13 January 2016 Audio described performance – Thursday 15 December 2015 7. 30pm Captioned performance – Thursday 10 December 2015 7. 30pm Average rating:   1 reviews Mar 21, 2016 Having grown up in a time when farce, thanks to the Cooneys and Rixs of this world, was all the rage and having rather enjoyed the bit in between when farce had become a rather forgotten artform, at least in London's Theatreland, I wasn't too confident about whether I would enjoy The Painkiller. But, as the curtain rose on a split stage with the old white line down the middle, dividing two hotel rooms, with lots of doors, I became very confident indeed. Rob Brydon is a brilliant comedy actor, although I would like to see him diversify a little. So he was very much at home with the job in hand of performing the role of hapless Welsh, Lady in Red singing, loser, Dudley. Kenneth Branagh, on the other hand, didn't have a clue. Rather than doing "acting" he should have just watched the masterclass given by Mark Hadfield as the hotel Porter. OK Hadfield may not be as good an all round actor as Branagh apparantly can be, but when it comes to farce he knows exactly what the job is! The problem is that farce, above all things, is a team effort and with a weak link the whole lot becomes rather laboured. So when all is said and done, I am looking forward to when Branagh et al, do Romeo and Juliet and The Entertainer and they all keep their trousers on.

Closing Out 2016 31 Dec 2016 in Los Angeles “They are the books, the arts, the academes, That show, contain, and nourish all the world. ” –Loves Labors Lost As 2016 comes to a close, I wanted to thank you all for joining me here at Shakespeare in LA. I launched the website 5 ½ years ago because I love Shakespeare but there was no place online to find out about productions and other Shakespeare-related topics without having to go to many different websites. Shakespeare in LA was my way of bringing it all together. Since then, the number of theatre companies producing classical works has increased tenfold and Southern California audiences now have many more options to see one of our greatest playwrights works come to life. In this 450th year of celebrating Shakespeares birth, that is a wonderful thing. It has been my pleasure to watch the community grow and to help facilitate that growth by writing about it. I hope you have found my contributions helpful. There is nothing certain except change, however, and Shakespeare in LA will be going on hiatus for an indefinite (possibly permanent) period of time. I will continue to update the Calendar and post news on Shakespeare in LAs Facebook and Twitter pages, and youll still find me writing for my other online platforms. Youll also still see me at the theatre. May you have much success and happiness in 2017. When in doubt, go see a show! Interview: Todd Lerew Offers Insight into Americas Shakespeare: The Bard Goes West 14 Nov 2016 by Shakespeare in LA in Interviews, Los Angeles Tags: Folger Shakespeare Library, Library Foundation of Los Angeles, Los Angeles Public Library First Folio on display in Americas Shakespeare: The Bard Goes West. Photo courtesy of the Folger Shakespeare Library Something may be rotten in the state of Denmark but, in Los Angeles, Shakespeare lovers will find all the joy that they can wish when the Library Foundation of Los Angeles opens its newest exhibit: Americas Shakespeare: The Bard Goes West on November 17 at the Central Library. The show is a partnership between the Library Foundation, the Los Angeles Public Library, and Folger Shakespeare Library in Washington, DC and will not only offer a look at his incredible legacy worldwide but show how Shakespeares impact has been felt here in California. The highlight of the exhibit is a First Folio (1623) from the Folgers collection, which will be shown alongside an incredible array of rare documents and artifacts from the Folger and other local organizations. Some may even surprise you. I was curious what it takes to bring such a monumental exhibition to Los Angeles so I spoke to Foundation Program Manager, Todd Lerew, for a little insight into what goes on behind the scenes. Todd Lerew Back to the Beginning “Initially it was the Folger who approached the library a couple of years ago about bringing their Americas Shakespeare exhibit out to Los Angeles, ” says Lerew. “We really wanted to put more of a California perspective on it because we like to approach all of our projects through a Southern California lens and what it means to the people who live here. We also wanted to make the exhibit accessible to everyone. Thats why these programs are free to the public. ” Lerew says one of the biggest overarching goals of the show is to demonstrate that Shakespeare is for everyone. “You may not think you know anything about him but you use phrases he created all the time, like ‘dead as a doornail, ‘forever and a day, and ‘wild-goose chase. Hes everywhere. We wanted people to see that Shakespeare is a bigger part of their life than they may have realized. ” One of the ways the library intends to show how Shakespeare has influenced California is by the interactive digital map they have created. “It not only contains theatres and venues and places where youd see Shakespeare and groups that are putting it on, ” says Lerew, “but also references to Shakespeare found throughout the city. For example, the area around Hermosa Beach was originally called Shakespeare Beach and you can see that on the map. ” Shakespeare Society of America “I first learned about Shakespeare Beach through the Shakespeare Society of America, which was founded by Thad Taylor in the early 70s, ” says Lerew. “He used to have a little hidden theater in West L. A. called the Globe Playhouse designed as a replica of Shakespeares Globe Theatre in London. ” Little known fact: SSAs Globe Theatre was the first to stage all 38 of Shakespeares plays in succession from 1976 – 1979, in 48 months. They repeated the complete canon again from 1981 – 1984, in 38 months. Thad passed away in 2006 and, the following year, Thads nephew, Terry, relocated the society to Moss Landing in Monterey, CA where it still exists today. “Thad was a really interesting character. We found a lot of fascinating information about Shakespeare in LA through his organization and we were able to borrow some great artifacts from them as well. They have a massive collection of rare items that includes museum and visual art pieces, theatre archives, photographs, props, posters, reviews, and many other unique pieces. Lerew says, in the eighties, Thad tried to get the city to change the name back to Shakespeare Beach but was ultimately unsuccessful. Still, proof exists of the developers early intent. “We have a plat map, which is a kind of blueprint map, from the original plans when the Red Cars opened to the beach. [Run by Pacific Electric, the Red Cars were part of a transit system consisting of electric trolleys, cars, and buses that made up the largest electric railway system in the world at the time. The developers called it Shakespeare Beach because they wanted to create a writers colony in the area. So, all of the streets were named after writers – Hawthorne, Tennyson, Ruskin. By the 1920s, the name Shakespeare, and almost all of the other authors, had disappeared and the streets were renamed with numbers. But, thanks to the Shakespeare Society of America and Hermosa Beach Historical Society, we have the plans from the early days, as well as an incredible photograph of the beach that shows a red car and a couple of men in suits by a sign that says, Shakespeare Beach: Plots Now for Sale. Its a beautiful piece. ” “Weve been able to make some fascinating connections like these through Shakespeare Society of America. Thad created another unique Shakespeare installation in 1984 when the Olympics came to town. He built a gigantic metal sculpture of Shakespeare holding the torch that hung outside his theater, and he designed a beautiful poster with a quote from Romeo and Juliet that said, This is the Place where the Torch Doth Burn. ” According to Lerew, the Folgers artifacts represent about half of the show but ten additional California-based institutions have contributed materials as well, including the State Library, the Hollywood Bowl Museum, the archives of the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences, the Warner Bros. collection at USC, the San Francisco Public Library, and others. One of his favorite items is “an incredible gigantic poster from the California-Panama Pacific Exposition that took place in Balboa Park in San Diego a hundred years ago. Its hard to describe but it is a huge poster with giant orange letters talking about five hundred children in costumes for the Shakespearean Pageant. Its a really wonderful piece and an interesting bit of California history. ” Shakespeare Goes Hollywood Because Shakespeare was a big part of California history, the exhibit also focuses heavily on Shakespeare in Hollywood and how he came out west. Costumes from several classic films will be on display. Among them: Alan Bates and Glenn Closes royal finery from Franco Zeffirellis 1990 Hamlet  and an arm cuff that Marlon Brando wore in Julius Caesar. “The costumes are great because they are so visual. We have a staged set as part of the exhibit where people can do a character activity and read a couple of lines on stage, if they want to. Weve also built huge stage sets behind several of the display cases to illuminate some of the themes of the show. For example, there is a large section about Abraham Lincoln and the Booth family. Of course, John Wilkes Booth, Lincolns assassin, is there but his brother, Edwin, and his whole family were also Shakespearean actors. They came out to California to perform Shakespeares plays in the mining camps during the gold rush. Edwins granddaughter, Edwina, lived up in Northridge so CSUN has some of the family archives. Through them, we were able to get the recording of Edwin Booth reading a speech from Othello. Y ou can hear that in the Lincoln section where we have a big backdrop of Fords Theatre. We also have a Pioneer Theater in another section, and Arden, which was the home of Helena Modjeska, the great Polish actress who settled in Orange County. I could go on and on. ” Lisa Wolpe ALOUD Authors Series Two literary programs have been announced on the librarys ALOUD Authors series that takes place in conjunction with the exhibit. The first will feature distinguished theatre director, Peter Sellars, in conversation with Ayanna Thompson, Professor of English at George Washington University, on Shakespeare Now: Race, Justice, and the American Dream  on January 19, 2017. The second is a discussion between world-renowned Shakespeare scholar, James Shapiro, and Lisa Wolpe, Producing Artistic Director of the Los Angeles Womens Shakespeare Company titled Shakespeare in America on February 16, 2017. Reservations for both can be made in December. While the main exhibit will take place at the Central Library downtown, Lerew says 23 of the neighborhood library branches will also be presenting their own programs as part of the Shakespeare event. Approximately a hundred such programs will take place across the city presented by groups like the Will Geer Theatricum Botanicum, and Swordplay LA. A Microsite highlighting the Central Library exhibit currently links to all the branch calendars where youll find these companion programs listed as they are confirmed. Click Here to go to the site. “Im really happy that we are able to display some of the Public Librarys own Shakespeare collections in the exhibit so people can look through a small sample of the resources we have here, ” says Lerew. “Shakespeare is the only writer who has his own Dewey Decimal number. I think thats so fascinating. You walk through the stacks here and you see why because it goes on for rows and rows. Well have books in the show that people can take downstairs to check out to really stress the connection between these fabulous display items you cant touch and the incredible resources that you can. ” Lerew acknowledges that some serious scholarship has gone into curating the collection for the show. “Its a pretty serious survey of the different ways that Shakespeare has come to this country, including some of the very earliest objects or records of Shakespeare appearing in the new world, and the different ways Shakespeare has been used to lend voice to people talking about war. Its absolutely something that scholars of Shakespeare will not want to miss. ” The exhibition will also include a Lost & Found at the Movies series with titles to be announced. The Library Foundation is partnering with CAP UCLA for their performances of Forced Entertainments Complete Works: Table Top Shakespeare which runs December 6-11, 2016 at Royce Hall.

All photos by Jessica Sherman Photography I love a good prequel, especially when a contemporary playwright decides to take on the back story of a hallowed play by the likes of William Shakespeare. I mean, come on. Daring to tread on that playing field takes some guts because you know before you begin that audiences are going to have high expectations of your work. They also know where you need to end your story in order for Shakespeares to begin so getting there must be highly inventive and worthy of its foregone conclusion. LA-based playwright Michael Shaw Fisher proves hes up to the task in his latest new work Skullduggery: The Musical Prequel to Hamlet, a rowdy and irreverent precursor to Shakespeares revenge play, Hamlet. The musical comedy is a smart contrast in tone that opens up a clever pathway for foreshadowing later events and introducing the quirks of Shakespeares dramatic characters, like Ophelias (Alyssa Rupert) madness and Polonius (Curt Bonnem) convoluted conversation. It also allows for a slew of new characters to emerge that are completely unpredictable. You never know what this bunch of crackpots will do next. Instead of simply the skull of a jester we meet in passing in Hamlet  (“Alas, poor Yorick! I knew him, Horatio”) Yorick (scene-stealing Brendan Hunt) is a real person – a falling-down drunkard with more than his fair share of secrets. Hunt doesnt even have to try to be funny. All he has to do is try to stand up and it becomes a study in how to create an unforgettable character. When his arm gets stuck in a set piece or he slips while walking across the stage, its a lesson in improv you cant pass up. Hamlet Sr. (David Haverty) appearing in Hamlet as a ghost only, is still alive, and three boisterous roustabouts (Jeff Sumner, Matt Valle and Cj Merriman) who will take up new careers as gravediggers before Skullduggery is over will reveal all the mysteries heretofore unsolved. When this show works it works really well and a lot of that is due to the understanding they (and Hunt) have of how to bring the material to life. In truth, its the fusion of their acting chops and director Scott Leggetts terrific ability to wring the funny out of Fishers writing that makes Skullduggery so much fun. L-R; Jeff Sumner, Matt Valle and Cj Merriman Each of the three has a distinct personality and role in their lively trio. They sing, they dance, they move like wraiths cloaked in black à la Martha Graham and, whenever they appear, they buoy up the merriment. Leggetts adept staging and Natasha Normans cheeky choreography are a delicious combination that this show wears well. Skullduggery  takes place thirty years before Hamlet begins when brothers Claudius (John Bobek) and Hamlet are young men. Claudius and Gertrude (Leigh Wulff) have fallen in love but when Hamlet goes off to war with their father and dear old dad is killed on the battlefield, Hamlet returns and marries her while Claudius is away at school. Seven years later, Claudius comes home to Elsinore and learns the bitter truth. Yoricks uncanny ability to predict the future eventually convinces Claudius to join him in his drunken revolution to overthrow the now King Hamlet and take back what he lost. L-R: John Bobek and David Haverty Where Hamlet follows the perspective of King Hamlets son, Skullduggery is really Claudius story of what led up to the murder. Bobek (as Claudius) is a likable leading man with a strong singing voice whose journey begins hesitantly, and is at times quite comical, with his hypoglycemic fainting spells a regular occurrence. As he gains confidence, his earnest demeanor propels him forward until he takes bold action to achieve his desired end. Haverty goes from battle-ready to war-weary and his few moments of vulnerability add depth to a very traditional character. As their object of affection, Wulff looks the part of a regal queen but is acting as though she is in an entirely different play. A scene can be serious in a musical comedy but it still needs to have an intensity behind it that is consistent with the style of the play. And, whether or not an actor is miked (they are not here) it is critical that the audience hears their dialogue. In this case, we cant hear her and the acting is so internal that it comes across as flat. Rebecca Larsen (Berta) does the same thing in her scenes although her wisecracks do land when we can hear them. Both have a bigger problem swallowing their vocals during their songs which gives them an uncomfortably thin, reedy sound, neck veins straining to reach the notes. Its too bad because Fishers score is an appealing combination of musical styles that includes everything from electro-funk, Lennon-esque tunes, and Sondheim-inspired verses to Renaissance folk, drinking songs, and sea shanties. I even heard something resembling The Pink Panther  hidden in the mix. When it goes all out rock, its even better. Musical director Michael Teoli uses instruments you dont often hear together in a musical to create some cool sound paintings and eerie effects in his arrangements for the show. He features marimba, mandolin, and guitar, and even tuba on “Twenty-Three” at the top of Act II to recap the story and move the audience forward twenty-three years. Vocal harmonies, especially the intentionally dissonant phrases, are deceptively simple and add subtle texture. Its an artful working of the score that creates a musical world just slightly off enough to catch your ear because it isnt at all traditional. Leigh Wulff and John Bobek Lyrically there are nods to popular Shakespeare phrases and a good bit of punning if you listen closely. Youd have to see the show a second time to catch all the Shakespeare in-jokes Fisher has included so keep your ear tuned. Sacred Fools new Hollywood venue is a step up from their previous location for this kind of musical adventure and the creative team has done some impressive work here. DeAnne Millais polished scenic design features open wooden panels, a curved staircase, and some highly effective scene painting (by Joyce Hutter) to bring the Elizabethan eras stone and bone to life. A cabinet of skulls does double duty stage left while a fabric panel hanging stage right makes tapestry changes via Ben Rocks rich video projections to further enhance locations. Gorgeous costumes by Linda Muggeridge look expensive under Andrew Schmedakes saturated lighting design. Making Shakespeare a good time isnt always easy but Skullduggery: The Musical Prequel to Hamlet  accomplishes that goal and delivers an exhilarating crowd-pleaser. The laughs are infectious, the fun factor high. Maybe every Shakespearean tragedy should come with a comedy prequel. SKULLDUGGERY: The Musical Prequel to Hamlet September 30 – November 5, 2016 Sacred Fools Theater Company 1076 Lillian Way Los Angeles, CA 90038 Tickets: Review: The Tragedy of JFK (as told by Wm. Shakespeare) 06 Oct 2016 Tags: JFK, julius caesar, The Blank Chad Brannon (center) and cast. Photos by Rick Baumgartner The Blank Theatre opens its 26th season with a new work written and directed by founding artistic director Daniel Henning that explores one of the most controversial events in U. S. history – the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. The Tragedy of JFK (as told by Wm. Shakespeare) is the result of several decades of research during which time Henning has come to be recognized as an authority on the subject. That, combined with his other great obsession – live theatre – meant it was only a matter of time before LA audiences would see a stage play based on his work. It isnt the first time a political leaders life has been cut short by opposing forces. JFKs story bears uncanny similarities to another ruler who lived more than 2, 000 years ago during the Roman Empire. Julius Caesars death at the hands of a group of conspirators would prompt another playwright in England – William Shakespeare – to write his own story of the machinations of men, The Tragedy of Julius Caesar, in 1599. Though separated by thousands of years, the two men do seem eerily connected, with one important difference. The public knew who killed Caesar, but JFK? Thats a whole other ball of wax. Although the Warren Commission, tasked with the JFK investigation, would find that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone in gunning down the president, conspiracy theories abound. There were many who had something to gain by JFKs death. Henning connects the dots in a way that rids the story of its misinformation and draws compelling conclusions about the events (by way of theatrical exploration) that are hard to deny. To tell the story, he uses much of the Julius Caesar text, skillfully merging our historical characters and their Shakespearean alter egos. The cadence of the contemporary regional accents and classical verse works well together as does the straightforward tone of the piece. Henning strips away all distractions and focuses in on what is said and who is saying it. In doing so, the parallels between characters like Caesar and JFK (Ford Austin) Brutus and LBJ (Time Winters) Cassius and J. Edgar Hoover (Tony Abatemarco) or Marc Antony and Bobby Kennedy (Chad Brannon) become chillingly apparent. L-R: Time Winters, Bruce Nehlsen, and Tony Abatemarco Abatemarcos Hoover is a cunning creation whose resentment of JFK is obvious from the very beginning. His Machiavellian overtures come couched within an oily persona that only becomes more disgusting with every wonderfully vile speech he bites into. We love to hate him. As Lyndon Johnson, Winters presents a meticulous portrait of a man of ambition who will not be underestimated. He is a commanding presence amid the players and uses intimidation as it suits him. Austin captures JFKs effortless charm in passages like the “I will not come” dialogue after Jackie (Casey McKinnon) warns him not to go forth today (the same warning Shakespeares Calpernia gives Caesar before he is assassinated at the Senate. McKinnon is a gentle Jackie, full of grace, with a stunning resemblance to the first lady. Brannons two best moments, the “Cry havoc” speech and his “I come to bury Caesar” diatribe full of thinly-veiled malice, resonate deeply. Casey McKinnon and Ford Austin The entire cast is equally as skilled, with additional notable performances from Susan Denaker as Lady Bird Johnson and Brett Collier as Martin Luther King, Jr. The timeline of the play covers the events leading up to the assassination and the fallout that follows it, reaching its climax during a powerful scene recreating Dr. Kings march from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama. A lyric revision turns the civil rights anthem “Aint Gonna Let Nobody Turn Me Around” into an emotional high point creating a kind of false ending before the play moves on to LBJs presidency, his decision not to run for re-election in 1968, and the events at the Ambassador Hotel that same year when Bobby Kennedy would be shot. An uncomplicated technical design benefits the production by keeping the audiences attention riveted on the characters. Historical footage projected on the set is the lone obvious enhancement that introduces theatricality to the overall effect. Its beautifully done. The Tragedy of JFK presents a compelling explanation for one of the most horrific events in U. history and Hennings production contains some of the finest work youll see on a stage in LA. This is an exceptional cast telling an extraordinary story and one of the best nights of theatre youll see in 2016. THE TRAGEDY OF JFK (As Told By Wm.

Shakespeares Cymbeline, What is it to be false? 03 Oct 2016 Tags: cymbeline From the press release: “Two star-crossed lovers wed in secrecy. But what should be the happy ending of their tale is instead the beginning of a journey filled with adventure and betrayal, where the separation between allies and enemies blurs beyond recognition. When the people you love the most are the same people trying to destroy you, how do you survive? Can we forgive each other when the cut is still bleeding? The capacity for both great kindness and great cruelty in all of us is at the heart of Shakespeares late classic, Cymbeline. Imogen, princess of Britain, is forced into solitude upon the banishment of her husband, the orphan-born but royally raised Posthumus. The punishment is handed down by her father, King Cymbeline, at the behest of his conniving and manipulative new queen, who plans to wed her oafish and dangerous son Cloten to Imogen now that Posthumus is gone. Separated from Posthumus for the first time in her young life, Imogen grows bolder with each new obstacle thrown her way. But Posthumus, alienated in a foreign country, enters into an ill-conceived bet with the devious Iachimo. That wager sets a series of lies and betrayals into motion, forcing Imogen to embark on a heros journey leading her to everything from finding long-lost siblings to embroiling her in a looming war between Britain and Rome. Dramatic and darkly comic throughout, Cymbeline is both intensely personal and daringly epic. ” This intimate production of Cymbeline is directed by Frank Weidner and stars Christine Avila, Olivia Buntaine, William Dennis Hunt, Jordan Klomp, Kathleen Leary, Celia Mandela, Victoria Martinez, Gerard Marzilli, Dane Oliver, Daniel Ramirez, and Michelle Wicklas, and produced by Bo Powell and Jordan Klomp.

Looking to the artistic and social troublemakers of our time, the production sees Hamlet wield the camera as both exploratory tool and brutal weapon. Urban and tech-savvy, this Prince of Denmark confronts his perceptions with Shakespeares text and the image-wizardry of a modern street artist. Inner Circle Theatre and director Matthew G. Hill will fuse together Hills years as a film and theatre artist with his work as an illustrator to form a hybrid production that places the Bards great revenge play at the vanguard.
