Eat, drink and be merry during the show with full food and beverage service as these actors take you on a journey – okay, several journeys – okay, 37. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll confusingly do both simultaneously in this bold comedy that’ll be slightly different every night. Expect a whirlwind of costume changes, airborne props, sudden death, vastly wrong synopses, unsolicited interaction, and everything else short of an explosion on stage (we hope!)ĭirected by Matthew Davenport (Twelfth Night, A Midsummer Nights Dream, and Agnes of God), join our three madcap actors, Alannah St Pierre, Richard Wiens, and Ethan Shankaruk, as these brave, slightly crazy, souls will perform every single play in 97 minutes – or less! The race is on.
“Shakespeare as it was back in the Bard’s day: bawdy, irreverent, sublimely entertaining.” Last year, Alannah worked as stage manager, producer and assistant director with Alchemy Theatre while Richard directed his first show, Men Are Dogs, at Stage 43.Ībout The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged)Īn irreverent, fast-paced romp through the Bard’s plays, written by Adam Long, Daniel Singer, and Jess Winfield, The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged) was London’s longest-running comedy! Three overly ambitious actors attempt to perform the brooding Hamlet, the tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, the fiery rage of Richard III…and all the rest of the plays nobody really understood in English class but will now! At least, they do the best they can. Truly a thespian couple, they share a passion for all things theatre both on and off stage. This show is laden with improvisational humour so it seems the perfect show to mark the occasion of their recent engagement as they have studied improv together with Second Storey Theatre Company in Port Coquitlam since 2013. Four years later, they will perform together for only the second time and no longer as strangers, but as fiancés. Pierre and Richard Wiens first met as fellow actors on Murder on the Rerun for Stage 43.

If you hate Shakespeare, you’ll love this show!”Įthan Shankaruk, born and raised in Vancouver, is no stranger to the stage. “If you like Shakespeare, you’ll like this show.
