FREEPORT — The Freeport Shakespeare Festival will stage “The Compleat Works of Wm Shakespeare ( Abridged)” from now through March 24 at the Freeport Factory Stage, 5 Depot St.
The farce features three actors who perform all 37 of Shakespeare’s plays, plus the sonnets, in 90 minutes. Directed by Peter Brown and featuring the talents of Portland actors Benjamin Row, Bari Robinson and William McDonough III, this play has been a crowd pleaser since it was first produced in the early 1990s.
“ The play, written by Daniel Singer, Adam Long and Jess Winfield, has undergone several incarnations and rewrites over the years, and audiences for this production will find it loaded with contemporary references and plenty of pratfalls,” a Freeport Shakespeare Festival release states.
Performances are scheduled for 7:30 p.m. Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays, as well as at 2 p.m. Sundays.
All Thursday performances are “Pay What You Can.” Regular ticket prices for all other performances are $19 for general admission and $ 15 for students with ID and seniors 65 and older. Group discounts are available. The box office telephone number is 865-5505. Tickets can be purchased online through the Factory Stage website: www.freeportfactory.com.
