The Wicked Wilde Shakespeare Festival

Streamlined, gender-bending versions of classic plays: Macbeth 3 is a bold, one-hour retelling of Shakespeare's creepiest tragedy in which three male actors perform a dozen roles, including Lady Macbeth and the diabolical Porter. A Tyrant's Tale is a gripping and fantastical one-hour adaptation of the Bard's The Winter's Tale. A gender-bent version of The Importance of Being Earnest features Lisa Wolpe as Jack and John Achorn as Lady Bracknell. In Lovers and Madmen, an all female, student cast performs a selection of scenes from Shakespeare, playing both men and women.
