Rollicking Fun and Serious Consideration at Renaissance Now
NYC Shakespeare Festival: July 1-5 at the Chain Theatre.
Renaissance Now presents a festival of three events: two Shakespeare plays, Measure for Measure and The Tempest, and the original rendering of Shakespeare’s finest speeches “Sometimes Shakespeare says it All” featuring Hamilton Clancy. Rollicking comedy and magic of The Tempest is balanced by the wonderfully insightful and relevant Measure for Measure. Both plays, written late in Shakespeare’s life, represent a culminating maturity in depth and theme. The plays preview on July 2, and play through July 6, with one perfomance of Clancy’s brilliant “Sometimes Shakespeare Says It All” on July 1st. Performs at the Chain Theatre’s 4th floor 66-seat house at 7:30 pm, with 3 pm matinees. Brilliant comedy and depth, featuring Marvin Payne, Sasha Wilkinson, Hamilton Clancy, direction by Sonja Hugo and Kathy Curtiss.
