\t\tEditorial Standards \u24d8<\/a><\/p>\n \n\t\t\t\t\t\tCultural Park Theatre in Cape Coral is putting on its last play of the season. “The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged)” is a hilarious portrayal of Shakespeare’s 37 plays in 97 minutes. Three “madcap” actors are tasked as Shakespearean scholars, racing through the bard’s comedies, histories, and, of course, plays. The ‘out of control’ mixture of tragedy and comedy pokes fun at famous plays like “Hamlet,” “Othello,” and “Romeo and Juliet,” just to name a few. Debbie Emling, the director of the show, previewed the production alongside Shakespearean scholars Max Rousseau, Nick Beyor, and Jane Seth on “Good Morning Gulf Coast.” The show premieres Friday, May 22, at 7 p.m., followed by two more shows: Saturday at 7 p.m. and Sunday at 3 p.m. For tickets, head over to the Cultural Park Theatre’s website.
