This week in Virginia,
I journeyed for the first time to Charlottesville to see a play which basically condensed everything written by Shakespeare into about an hour and a half of performance.
This means there's a lot of improv.
This means there's a 40 second version of Macbeth
and a lot of ridicule of traditional theatre. Good.
The basic format of the play was written a few years ago, and I remember it being a bit hit.
Since then it has reproduced and performed all over the place.
The production I saw was staged by a drama/acting college in Charlottesville by students.
The cast consists of just 3 actors and minimal props. The stage is really just a backdrop, one armchair was used briefly.
If you ever hear of this being done anywhere near you, just go, it'll be worth it.
