The Dirty Shakespeare Company lives! Not even a natural disaster can stop us!
Due to the heavy flooding of the Susquehanna River, the Dirty Shakespeare Company's debut production of A Midsummer Night's Dream was postponed. Company founders Joshua Brown and Kelly Elliott are thrilled to announce that the production will be seen in Cleveland for a limited engagement of two performances only! The DSC will perform this fast-paced, stripped-down, rollicking version of one of the Bard's most popular comedies at the Coventry Elementary School Yard in Cleveland Heights, on the corner of Coventry Road and Euclid Heights Boulevard. Performances are free and open to the public. Lawn chairs and blankets are welcome.
The mission of the Dirty Shakespeare Company is to produce Shakespeare's works as simply and faithfully as possible, with a strong focus on the language, poetry and story. The company's debut production of Midsummer was rehearsed over the course of one week while the Cleveland-based actors were in residence at the Splash Magic Campground. For more information on the Dirty Shakespeare Company and A Midsummer Night’s Dream, contact producer Joshua Brown at 216-246-2855 or joshdbrownATadelphiaDOTnet.
