Sackville NB's Live Bait Theatre continues the tour of their hilarious Shakespearean spoof, written by and featuring Michelle Daigle, Ron Kelly Spurles, and Don Rigley. "The Good, the Bard and the Ugly" will be performed on Saturday, January 28 at the Carrefour Beausoliel in Miramichi. There will be music by Frantically Atlantic at 7:00 pm, and the play starts at 7:30 pm. Admission is $20 and tickets are available at the Carrefour Beausoliel, at (506) 536-2248, or at www.livebaittheatre.com. The play begins with Will Shakespeare needing a new play for Queen Elizabeth I, but with less than a week to prepare. Desperately he puts together bits and pieces of plays he’s been working on but has yet to produce. The result is a show with many of Shakespeare’s most famous characters, speaking some of his most famous lines – out of order, to the wrong character, and sometimes confused with other lines.
"The outcome is a humorous smorgasbord of love lost, love found, lust, dramatic tension and absurdity with love potions, sleeping potions and death potions", said Live Bait Artistic Director Ron Kelly Spurles. "There's all of this, and music to boot. Audiences have been loving performances of the show, and we can't wait to bring it to Miramichi."
