This will be a fast, funny and whimsical version of Shakespeare’s most popular play. Marriage is in the air – the Duke is about to wed his warrior lover, four young friends are in a complicated love quadrangle, and the king and queen of the fairies are talking divorce – again. Add in a group of amateur actors with more enthusiasm than talent, and their pushiest member, Bottom, and we have a classic comedy with some of the funniest scenes in theatre.
We are looking for enthusiastic actors of all genders and ethnic backgrounds. Gender-blind casting will apply.
Many of the characters will be doubled.
Preference will be given to stage ages 18 to 45.
Please be prepared to perform a short (no more than one minute) Shakespearean monologue (not a sonnet) of your choice.
Please be prepared to read some excerpts from the play. (To be provided)
