THE SIMON STUDIO @ the Historic Players Club
proudly presents its annual Bard @ the Bar in honor of William Shakespeare and THE SIMON STUDIO's 35th Anniversary!
...
Directed by Roger Hendricks Simon(N.Y. Shakespeare Festival, Yale Rep, London's Royal Court Theatre)
Thursday, May 31st., 2012 @ 7 pm
The Players Club, 16 Gramercy Park South

This performance is an environmental collage of scenes, songs and dance by William Shakespeare, featuring current studio & Players members, alumni and special guests from the film, Broadway and London stage worlds.

"... an impressive group of scenes, using every inch of the expansive room, as well as audience members, as part of the ambiance... a ‘60’s style street theatre environment, (where) audience members wandered in and out and photographers documented the performance. Strict homage was paid to the Bard’s language, with vivid, highly physicalized portrayals by all. Actors of all shapes, sizes and ages were encouraged to share their talents, eschewing the youth-oriented look of many recent Shakespearean productions. Director Roger Hendricks Simon is to be congratulated for his dedication to the inclusion of all types of talented actors, and the large, enthusiastic crowd obviously agreed."
