Shakespeare in Hollywood
By Ken Ludwig
November 27 & 28, 2009
Directed by Peter Crooks
Produced by Marge Trumper
It’s 1934, and Shakespeare’s most famous fairies, Oberon and Puck, have magically materialized on the Warner Bros. Hollywood set of Max Reinhardt’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Instantly smitten by the glitz and glamour of show biz, the two are ushered onto the silver screen to play (who else?) themselves. With a little help from a feisty flower, blonde bombshells, movie moguls, and arrogant “asses” are tossed into loopy love triangles, with raucous results. The mischievous magic of moviedom sparkles in this hilarious comic romp.
Tina Fedele Keating was nominated for a Best Actress award at 2010 Gala of the FQTA (Fédération québecoise du théâtre amateur).
