The Fall (or Rise?) of Shakespeare’s Comic Eccentrics

Join former acting member of England’s Royal Shakespeare Company for an exploration of the wit and the workings of three of Shakespeare’s most colorful and over-the-top sillies who forever teeter on the brink of a journey down the rabbit hole and a less-than-joyous last hurrah.

Let us together welcome to the our stage Malvolio from “Twelfth Night”, Sir John Falstaff from “Henry IV, Part 1”, and Parolles from “All’s Well That Ends Well.”

‘Tis sure to be a merry time!
