Bad costumes, hammy actors, rotten stage combat, ridiculous death scenes, a romantic leading man who obviously bats for the other team…Sound rotten? Not when it’s done on purpose!
King Phycus is a hilarious satire on all the things we’ve come to hate about poorly done productions of Shakespeare. Take a group of seasoned classical actors who obviously know their stuff, and let them go to town chewing up the scenery. Watch as they mix the complex plot lines of Shakespeare’s greatest tragedies into an exceptionally humorous one act comedy. Recommended!
