Standup Shakespeare: A Concert Reading

Standup Shakespeare sets the timeless language of the Bard to the exciting rhythms of jazz, baroque, samba, and gospel-rock music. A fractured love story is performed by a modern-day Fool (Steppenwolf cofounder Jeff Perry) and Broadway legends Norm Lewis (The Phantom of the Opera) and Tony Award winner Alice Ripley (Next to Normal) in this concert reading. Accompanying the cast are Marshall Coid (violin), Dave Dunaway (bass), Ray Leslee (piano), and Josh Plotner (woodwinds).
