WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
A Top Five smash hit at the 2005 Minnesota Fringe Festival, David Mann's Corleone: The Shakespearean Godfather makes its New York debut as part of the 10th annual New York International Fringe Festival. Featuring a classically-trained New York cast and performed in verse, this is a comic/tragic parody of the classic mob tale.
What if Shakespeare had written The Godfather? Will Prince Michael assume the throne of Don Vito Corleone? Performed in iambic pentameter, Corleone: The Shakespearean Godfather parodies the classic mob tale. With swordfights, conspirators, and Fredo the fool, it's a poetic bloodbath of Shakespearean proportions.

*****************
Some of the best acting ever done under Fringe Festival auspices -- perhaps the best ensemble emoting ever -- is on display in Richard Thompson's Big Doolie, directed by Jenn Thompson with a fire lit under her. Smart theatergoers will make a beeline to this show before smart producers transfer it to a Broadway or Off-Broadway theater, where the price of ducats will be much higher.
As you watch this lacerating send-up of big-time sports, sports agents, sportscasters, and athletes, you start thinking that Edward James Hyland as master dissemb[...]
