Shakespeare Jerusalem is no fool when it comes to Shakespeare \u2013 the young, talented company makes the stage come alive with all the wit, humor and verbal acrobatics of Shakespeare in his own words. \u201cFooling with Shakespeare,\u201d an evening of monologues exploring the role of the fool will be performed in Ra\u2019anana on January 25th and Jerusalem on January 26th. The company performs in English, but appeals to a general audience of non-native English speakers as well: full-length plays are presented with superscripts in Hebrew and thematic evenings are offered in two versions: one which is all in English and the other with transitional and explanatory scenes in Hebrew.<\/p>\n
The company, founded by artistic director Shannon Kisch, presented a full-length production of Henry V in November 2008, and initiated the Jerusalem version of Shakespeare in the park this past June with \u201cMidsummer Night\u2019s Show,\u201d a series of love scenes from the plays. Having plumbed the depths of love, Kisch, who is on intimate terms with the Bard, turns to the fool for inspiration. The freedom, wit and humor of Shakespeare\u2019s fools are an endless source of pleasure, brilliant, bold and often bawdy. Herzl Tobey, who played a range of lovers \u2013 shy, scheming, and sweet \u2013 so eloquently in the summer show, will be playing the fool next week in Ra\u2019anana and Jerusalem, with monologues from some of Shakespeare\u2019s most famous plays, including \u201cA Midsummer Night\u2019s Dream\u201d, \u201cTwelfth Night\u201d, \u201cAs You Like It\u201d and \u201cTwo Gentlemen of Verona\u201d.<\/p>\n
