Polishing Shakespeare

By Brian Dykstra

February 17 - March 14, 2027

What happens when a dot-com billionaire pays an esteemed American theatre company to translate Shakespeare into English (Wait. What?). A sly comedy inspired by an unbelievably true story. To sell out or not to see out-is that the question?

This was a runaway hit at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe and Off-Broadway!
