Description
The Colonial Theatre’s 2025 reading series
SHAKESPEARE'S SUMMER SHORTS
will feature two comedic one acts:
PERSONS OF THE PLAY
by the Colonial dramaturg, Robert Durwood Madison
and
SHAKESPEARE'S DEAD DAMES
by David Overton
Persons of the Play serves as a prelude, introducing and contextualizing the characters in Shakespeare’s Dead Dames. Shakespeare’s Dames find themselves stuck in a holding room until they are fortunate to re(live) their tragedy in another production of the play they die in. It’s a comic romp that evokes The Twilight Zone meets Luigi Pirandello’s Six Characters in Search of an Author.
Both plays incorporate verse and everyday vernacular
RUNNING TIME: approximately 75 mins.
Shakespeare’s Summer Shorts runs
August 13th through 16th
in Wilcox Park, Westerly, RI
. Both shows are FREE and FAMILY FRIENDLY.
