ASL Interpreted Performance:
Wed Dec 12, 10:30 am
Devised and performed by Michael Pennington
"A terrific crib sheet to understanding the plays ... It's a gratifying, edifying and altogether enjoyable evening."
-- Dominic Papatola, Pioneer Press
"This 'William' is indeed sweet"
-- Graydon Royce, Star Tribune
A large-spirited salute to the Bard, Sweet William is part biography, part analysis and part performance. Reflecting on his long international experience as a director and leading actor, and having spend some 20,000+ hours onstage performing Shakespeare, Michael Pennington sets out to celebrate the life and work of the theater icon.
A seasoned actor/director, Pennington’s career has spanned more than 40 years, during which time he has played leading roles for the Royal Shakespeare Company, the National Theatre and his own award-winning English Shakespeare Company, which he co-founded with Michael Bogdanov in 1986. Perhaps best known to younger audiences as Moff Jerjerrod, commander of the Death Star in Star Wars – Return of the Jedi, he has also published three “User’s Guides” to individual Shakespeare plays, and delivered the annual Shakespeare lecture at the prestigious British Academy.
