Brian Ricker, Chris Greene and Parker Bunch, from left, perform all the roles in Theatre-at-Tusculum\u2019s upcoming production of \u201cThe Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged),\u201d a lively, comedic romp through the great Bard\u2019s catalog.<\/p><\/div>\n

Theatre-at-Tusculum\u2019s upcoming production promises to bring lots of laughter from audiences, but perhaps not much illumination of the works of the great Bard as the title may suggest.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged)\u201d will come to the Theatre-at-Tusculum stage Feb. 21-23, 28 and March 1-2.<\/p>\n

Written by three actors, Adam Long, Daniel Singer and Jess Winfield, the hilarious comedy was first performed by the authors in 1987 in California, and subsequently at the 1987 Edinburgh Festival Fringe in Scotland. Receiving rave reviews and playing to enthusiastic audiences in London and off-Broadway, this tongue-in-cheek, and sometimes foot-in-mouth two-act play has garnered a devoted following of enthusiastic theatergoers.<\/p>\n

Director Marilyn duBrisk, has cast three talented local actors to perform all the roles in this lively and irreverent gallop through Shakespeare\u2019s works \u2013 Chris Greene, Brian Ricker and Parker Bunch.\u00a0 Fans will remember Chris Greene\u2019s roles as Romeo in \u201cRomeo and Juliet,\u201d Jeff in \u201cBrigadoon\u201d and The Cat in the Hat in \u201cSeussical the Musical\u201d;\u00a0 Brian Ricker\u2019s notable performances as Scrooge in \u201cA Christmas Carol,\u201d Bill Sykes in \u201cOliver,\u201d and Sir Andrew Aguecheek in \u201cTwelfth Night\u201d and Parker Bunch\u2019s roles as Bob Cratchit in \u201cA Christmas Carol,\u201d Peter in \u201cThe Diary of Anne Frank\u201d and the crazy monkey in \u201cSeussical the Musical.\u201d<\/p>\n

All performances will take place in the David Behan Arena Theatre on the lower level of the Annie Hogan Byrd Fine Arts Building (side entrance).\u00a0 Show times are 7 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays, Feb. 21, 22, 28 and March 1. Sunday matinees at 2 p.m. are scheduled for Feb. 23 and March 2.<\/p>\n
