ASHEVILLE CITIZEN-TIMES SUNDAY, OCTOBER 24, 2004 E7 Wedding THEATER: Play puts funny spin on classics TT "Radio Hour experience has helped them understand each other's acting techniques, and given them time to grab "Shakespeare" rehearsals when they can. Fast-paced Shakespeare This Shakespeare show puts a different spin on the Bard. The actors play themselves and dash through mini-versions of Shakespeare classics. It's a joint production of Flat Rock Playhouse and N.C Stage Company and will also be performed for school groups. "This is the 13th year (Flat Rock Playhouse) has given a show to the juniors and seniors in Henderson and Transylvania counties," Treadway said "We take four shows out of the schedule and donate them to that we have to do the work the same kind of work we would do if we were doing Hamlef or Twelfth Nighf Mclver is passionate about Shakespeare.
He's made a point of doing a Shakespeare show each season. These plays have lasted more than 500 years," he said. "There is something relevant to us today that can only come across to the audience if the production knows what they are saying. One of the best compliments we ever get is when someone says Tm so glad you changed the language so I can And we don't change a thing. We cut some things out but we've never changed a word."

But it was costing us a lot of money and I had always had this hope we could share this with someone else. But there was no one else to do it with (until N.C Stage opened). It was a perfect mix." Beyond the school tie-in, a big reason for this piece is to prove that Shakespeare can be fun. Though his works are classic, the actors know that the Bard's language and length can be a little scary, especially for first-timers. "This show has been playing in London, 10 to 12 years," said Treadway.
"Partly because it's so funny, but it's also a great introduction to get a taste of Shakespeare." But it doesn't turn Shakespeare into a joke, Mclver said: "It really comes from a place of respect Which means Continued from El "We just kind of hit the ground said Domingue, famous for his crazy character roles at Flat Rock Playhouse. "There were a couple of times that I freaked," said Treadway, one of Flat Rock's most popular performers for 20 years. "I was scared. How was I going to get all this done? And Charlie has a theater to run and I have a pile of stuff on my desk." "But it's so much fun," said Domingue. Before "Radio Hour," these three actors had never played together though Treadway has worked many times with Domingue at Flat Rock, and he's also performed with Mclver at N.C Stage.

A fast-paced farce, the play weaves together lines from all 37 of Shakespeare's plays in less than two hours of stage time. "It's absolutely hilarious," said Wendy Kussrow, director of drama. "This play includes great physical comedy challenges. It is fun to be able to do Shakespeare and prove that he doesn't have to be so intimidating or to be taken so seriously." Members of the cast include Dylan Coward and Alea Skwara, both of Sylva; Patrick Darab of Hickory; Ian Mclnnis of Moravian Falls; Seagh Mulligan of Oak Ridge, Tena; and Rachel Reyes of Boone. The crew includes Mo Mavity and Meghan Craig-Khun as stage managerassistant director, and Jacob Lena and Alex Bond as building and operating crew.
Darab is having fun playing so many roles in one production. example, I play the roles of the Nurse and the Prince in 'Romeo and Juliet' Othello in and Gertrude, Claudius and Horatio in he said. "On top of this, the cast interacts directly with the audience, forcing us to break the 'fourth which is a challenge on its own." Kussrow said she plans to take her student cast to the N.C Stage production of the play after the high school show closes.
