The recently performed Shakespeare By The Sea’s back to back productions of Henry V and Comedy of Errors that brought forth the best of the Bard, and best of all, outdoors at Rush Park in Rossmoor on two recent Summer nights.
Saturday night, July 13, featured the beloved Henry V that immortalizes one of the greatest moments in English history, the battle of Agincourt that led to peace finally between England and France.
There is much here from the Bard about the din of war and the drumbeat that leads up to it. Sunday’s performance of Comedy of Errors is much lighter fare and the whirlwind of characters is complicated by the unwitting presence of two sets of twins who come and go on stage never meeting until the final scene when, of course as in all Shakespeare comedies, all is resolved. It’s as madcap as a laurel and Hardy skit.
Both performances were captured by Los Al TV’s John Underwood and crew, and now featured on Los Al TV Channel 3. See TV schedule of airings in this week’s edition of The Event News Enterprise. Both productions are also viewable online at losaltv.org.
