Shakespeare in Hollywood
 

Step into the Spotlight with Ken Ludwig’s Hilarious "Shakespeare in Hollywood"

Get ready to be transported to the golden age of Hollywood in a dazzling mix of comedy, chaos, and Shakespearean mischief! The acclaimed play *Shakespeare in Hollywood* by Tony Award-winning playwright Ken Ludwig is set to enchant audiences with its witty dialogue, fast-paced humour, and star-studded intrigue. 

Based on the original film, it's a ‘don’t miss’ screwball comedy with supernatural elements, a fun-filled romp that pays homage to both Shakespeare and the golden age of Hollywood.

It's 1934, and Shakespeare's most famous fairies, Oberon and Puck, have magically materialised on the set of the Warner Brothers film set of ‘Midsummer Night’s Dream’ Smitten by the glitz and glamour of show biz, the two are ushered onto the silver screen to play (who else?) themselves. the least.

Don’t miss this chance to revel in Ludwig’s witty storytelling and Shakespearean charm!

    The script is based on a true story, although this dramatisation can feel somewhat contrived, with important assertions not interrogated, and credibility stretched as a result.

    Izzard: The Tragedy of Hamlet
    To Shakespeare’s text be true is the obvious goal here, and writer, director and actor have each scored.

    In the care of Pinchgut Opera’s director, Erin Helyard, this music, formulaic as it indeed is in some respects, sprang off the page into an experience rich in emotions.

    Even when individual works did not fully land for me dramaturgically, there is no denying the precision, intelligence and care of the artists creating them.

    Unabashedly and unapologetically entertaining, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels delights in its hoax hokum, a whimsical hustle of musical comedy bustle.
