Stage Combat combined with Shakespeare combined with light sabers! Aug 24th only.
Our final one-night event is happening in the midst of a summer of Shakespeare which has already received its first great review!
Bard Wars is this Wednesday night, August 24th, at 8pm. What the heck is “Bard Wars”, you ask?
Well ok, picture a lot of Shakespeare, a lot of fighters, and a lot of weaponry flying about…including light sabers. Yes, that’s right. Light sabers.
Come to this one-hour show comprised of short scenes from various Shakespeare plays which include fights. You’ll see more contemporary versions (the aforementioned light saber fight, umbrella fight) as well as more traditional weaponry (daggers, unarmed). Then afterward, join us for art and freestyle jazz group 2s and 4s, who you may remember from our Sonnet-a-Thon earlier this year on Valentine’s Day. Funderground, who is sponsoring the space, will be selling whatever vintage wine or cocktail you would like—including some modern versions of mead (which some call beer).
We’re feeling casual this summer, so tickets are only $10. We basically just want you to come have a great time on the cheap. Oh, and did I forget to mention? We’re raffling off a light saber, valued at $100, with only $2 raffle tickets. Who doesn’t love a good raffle?
So, grab a pair of jeans and a cute top, or your Princess Leia earmuff and a Shakespearean ruff, and join us this Wednesday in Williamsburg. You really won’t forget this night, I assure you. And it’s nice to see something unique, wouldn’t you say?
