This version of William Shakespeare's classic comedy is presented in a concept known as "Twelve Chairs Shakespeare." The stage contains 12 chairs that are occupied by the twelve actors who play all of the roles. The actors share a common dressing room space, in full view of the audience, where they change costumes as they change their characters. The result is a compact, one-hour rendering of this delightful play that retains all of its fantasy and comedy.
