Event Information
Description
JAMES BOND: A CONVENIENT LIE - 2:30 pm - 4:30 pm
A new opera in English!
Bond, with the help of Audrey, a French actress, and her tech genius brother, Pierre, must confront a bee-keeping eco-terrorist – who calls himself The Naturalist – and his henchmen, Salvatore the Sword, Tiny, and the sultry Miss Bliss, and stop his plan to make humanity suffer for its heedless consumption.
A new opera in Pasticcio featuring well known music from Mozart, Verdi, Donizetti, Puccini, Bizet, and more, JAMES BOND: A CONVENIENT LIE offers a new kind of operatic spectacle blending the beautiful and demanding classical style of singing with the fast paced and exciting style of a contemporary film!
Note: there are toy guns and simulated gun shots in the show.
Run Time: approx 2 hrs 15 mins including 15 minute intermission.
MACBETH’S HEAD 7:30 pm - 9:30 pm
A new comedic play!
The Scottish play, an ancient curse, and a disembodied head on a dessert trolley out for revenge – MACBETH’S HEAD – a new play (half in prose and half in original verse) is the story of Tim and Rupert who are playing Macbeth and Macduff in just another production of Macbeth…until Tim activates an ancient curse and awakens Macbeth’s severed head, who’s athirst for revenge on William Shakespeare for ruining his life.
The Head, using his arcane powers, enslaves Tim and Rupert, and then brings Space Pirate Cleopatra, gender bending Richard III, and Hip Hop Hamlet to life to help in his insidious designs.
It’s up to Tim and Rupert to stop the maniacal Head lest Shakespeare’s works are obliterated from the face of the earth forever!
Note: there are some strobe effects in the show.
Run Time: approx 2 hrs including 15 minute intermission
