Me and two other actors. 37 Shakespearean plays/90 minutes. We open tomorrow. →[More:]And now, I've two concerns:
A. This show (and it's attention-loving actors, including me) thrives on house-capacity crowds in order to work, and I have no idea how sales have been going or if the word is out there sufficiently.
B. This show is an absolute workout from end to end, so at some point during our four-week, two venue run, I might collapse mid-show on-stage from my-day-job-is-at-a-desk exhaustion.

Any encouragement or reassurance is welcome. (And if you're local, buy a ticket.)

Do you really perform with someone named Zip Rampy?

That is awesome.

Oh, that's a fun show! Too bad I am nowhere near, otherwise I would surely come! In the production I saw, I particularly loved backwards Hamlet & the remote control dinosaur. RAWR!!!

Have fun & break a leg!

Is this based on the piece done by the RSC (Reduced Shakespeare Company)?

Zip Rampy is as awesome as his name.

And yes, this would be the Reduced Shake Co. show ... thankfully, the script is written to encourage improv, updating of current affairs jokes and so on.

Have fun! The Spousal Unit was a production of this in the summer and it came off great - not dated at all.
