Cue Zero Theatre Company announces William Shakespeare’s Long Lost First Play (abridged). Performances will take place June 21-23 at the Arts Academy of New Hampshire in Salem, NH.
Discovered in a treasure-filled parking lot in Leicester, England (next to a pile of bones that didn’t look that important), an ancient manuscript proves to be the long-lost first play written by none other than seventeen-year-old William Shakespeare from Stratford. We are totally not completely making this up. WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE’S LONG LOST FIRST PLAY (abridged) is the literary holy grail: an actual manuscript in Shakespeare’s own hand showing all his most famous characters and familiar speeches in a brand-new story. But because it’s one hundred hours long and contains multiple unwieldy storylines, it was decided, as a public service, to abridge it down to a brief and palatable ninety-minute performance for this lost masterpiece.
WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE’S LONG LOST FIRST PLAY (abridged) by Reed Martin and Austin Tichenor is produced by special arrangement with Broadway Play Publishing Inc, NYC
