Elgin Theatre Company presents "Screwing Around with
Shakespeare” by Donna Latham
at Elgin Art Showcase
ETC meets Shakespeare in this mash up of styles that channels Christopher Walken, New Jersey housewives, Cyrano, and one wildly animated ASL interpreter who relentlessly tries to keep up the pace. Through some rap, song, and texting, highlights from the plays are shared in a contemporary context. The first performance was off at times but the yucks were there if you waited for it. Next shows: Fri. 6pm, Sat. 4:30pm and Sun. 1:30pm. www.elginfringefestival.com
