Shenandoah Shakespeare Presents Three Plays at Colby, Nov. 5-7 The internationally-acclaimed theater company Shenandoah Shakespeare Express will perform The Importance of Being Earnest, Henry IV, Part One and Two Gentlemen of Verona at Colby College in November as part of their 2003-04 Excellent Motion tour. The performances are part of the college's 2003-04 Theater and Dance season. Performances will be held beginning at 7:30 p.m. nightly in Strider Theater of Runnals Building on the Waterville campus. Admission is charged.
The Shenandoah Shakespeare theater company performs under conditions closely approximating those for which Shakespeare originally wrote. The cast includes a dozen actors who play double roles, use thrust staging and employ universal lighting so the audience and actors can see each other. To connect the text to modern audiences Shenandoah Shakespeare uses musical accompaniment set in a contemporary style and modern clothing with elements designed to distinguish character, rank and role. The result has been called "uncommonly understandable" (The Philadelphia Inquirer) and "shamelessly entertaining" (The Washington Post). General admission is $3; students and seniors are $2. For ticket information call the box office at 207-872-3358 between 5 and 7:30 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday. Or call 207-872-3388 between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. Monday through Friday.
