Shakespeare in Hollywood

Lyric Stage Company presents Shakespeare in Hollywood, by Ken Ludwig, directed by Spiro Veloudos.

Welcome to Tinseltown 1934, where sexy starlets, cigar-chomping producers, and ga-ga columnists collide in a delectable blend of farce, fact and fantasy. When filmmaker Max Reinhardt’s re-make of A Midsummer Night’s Dream loses its leading men, a flash of madcap magic allows Shakespeare’s Oberon and Puck to play themselves on the silver screen. This showbiz send-up is the latest hit from the author of Broadway’s Lend Me a Tenor.
