Shakespeare on the road to Boquete
The Entertainment Scene with Margot Thomas
THE THEATRE Guild of Ancon, has been producing plays and musicals for Panama’s English speaking community for over 66 years, but this month will be breaking new ground by taking a show on the road.
The expat community of Boquete will get to savor the Complete Works of Shakespeare as interpreted and condensed into 97 minutes of rollicking, thumb your nose at convention, role switching action, and speedy costume change, that has wowed packed audiences in the Guild’s Ancon home over recent weeks.
Directed by Nick Miles, the three man team of Adam Herzig, Simon Tejeira and James Mattiace pack all of the Bard’s plays into a hilarious performance that involves the audience, and re-awakens memories of the days when you memorized some of the famed speeches in the hope of making your grades in English Lit.
Now, in the true tradition of on-the-road rep theatre the TGA is Boquete bound where they will find an appreciative audience.
The performance will be at the Valle Escondido Resort Hotel Saturday, March 26, at 5:00 pm
Tickets are on sale in Tikly.co or e shakespeare.boquete@gmail.com.
If you’re in Panama and haven’t seen it yet there’s still time, with the final performances set for Thursday, Friday and Saturday March 17-19 at 8pm. You can purchase tickets on the website of the Guild or at the theater box office.
