ABOUT THE SHOW
We all learned that Shakespeare was supposed to be classy. What we learned was wrong. Shakespeare wrote some of the bloodiest, creepiest and most disturbing theater in the English language. His theater had to compete with another racket down the road that fought dogs against bears, and still his theater made lots of money. In fact, Shakespeare is supposed to be dangerous, and that’s exactly what the Ensemble Shakespeare Theater makes it: a thrilling experience of language, love, risk and violence.
Featuring scenes from Shakespeare’s most disturbing plays (Titus Andronicus, Richard III, Macbeth, and more), Shakespeare’s Night Of Terror stars a hellish narrator who guides us through a macabre yet hilarious cast of characters and stories to a bigger point about the nature of human fear and terror.
Starring: Fred Cross, Natalie Fryman, Aaron Leddick, Anastasia Leddick, Shahaub Roudbari, Dustin SternGarcia and Alex Weed. Directed by EST Artistic Director Brian Elerding, director of Shakespeare’s Villains which went to Edinburgh.
