Olathe Community Theatre "Complete Works of Shakespeare" review by SwizzleStick


Really Good Time
Rating: 5

The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged)
Olathe Community Theatre Association

What a delightful surprise!  I've seen The Complete Works of William
Shakespeare Abridged before and found it rather tedious and tiresome,
but not here in the Olathe Community Theatre production.  This
production is completely charming and a delight to behold.  A wonderfully
quirky scenic design by Shea Coffman sets the tone and its promise is
fulfilled.

All three actors, David Martin, Reed Uthe and Kyle Dyck are very funny and
quite adept at the various characterizations.  The interaction with the
audience is relaxed and non assaultive and lends a nice sense of
community to the proceedings.  At evening's end, you feel like you've
spent a really fun evening in the theatre with some very creative friends.
Kudos to director Kipp Simmons for creating such a warm environment.

Go see it!
