Step into the Spotlight with Ken Ludwig’s Hilarious “Shakespeare in Hollywood”

Get ready to be transported to the golden age of Hollywood in a dazzling mix of comedy, chaos, and Shakespearean mischief! The acclaimed play *Shakespeare in Hollywood* by Tony Award-winning playwright Ken Ludwig is set to enchant audiences with its witty dialogue, fast-paced humour, and star-studded intrigue.

Based on the original film, it’s a ‘don’t miss’ screwball comedy with supernatural elements, a fun-filled romp that pays homage to both Shakespeare and the golden age of Hollywood.

 

 

It’s 1934, and Shakespeare’s most famous fairies, Oberon and Puck, have magically materialised on the set of the Warner Brothers film set of ‘Midsummer Night’s Dream’ Smitten by the glitz and glamour of show biz, the two are ushered onto the silver screen to play (who else?) themselves. the least.

Don’t miss this chance to revel in Ludwig’s witty storytelling and Shakespearean charm!

About the Director:

Jude Hines is a talented renowned director of Ludwig’s plays, musicals and other award-winning productions. In 2024 Jude directed the stunning production of Jersey Boys for Therry Theatre.

The Cast includes a Hollywood’s ‘Whose Who’ featuring Penni Hamilton-Smith as Louella Parsons, Malcolm Walton as Joe E Brown, Tom Adams as James Cagney with Stephen Bills and Emily Burns as the irrepressible, magical Oberon and Puck and an ensemble of actors playing many roles of famous Hollywood stars and movie moguls.
