About This Show

Playwright Mike Bencivenga uses the sonnets of Williams Shakespeare to create Couplets, a modern story of tangled romance. Six friends speak the Bard’s words as they cruise, stumble, and skid through weddings and funerals, passionate outpourings and nasty hangovers. A new play, with music, Couplets celebrates Shakespeare’s universal words by reminding us they still resound today.

Couplets is written and directed by Mike Bencivenga, with music composed by Noel Katz, and produced by Lightning Strikes. The cast includes Lightning Strikes Theatre Company members Stephen Aloi, Julie Hera, Jay Aubrey Jones, Suzanne Levinson, John McDermott, Misha Pogul, and Talia Rubel.
