Elm Shakespeare: Pericles in Edgerton Park this August.

Elm Shakespeare: Pericles in Edgerton from New Haven, Connecticut on Vimeo.





One of the best "perks" about Willoughby's Coffee, says Elm Shakespeare Company's Managing Director Daniel Fitzmaurice, is the stunning amount of talent within the ranks of Willoughby's coffee employees. A good example, Gracy Brown, maanger at the Church and Grove location, provides an electrifying performance as the narrator Gower alost every night this month in Edgerton park throughout the ElmShapespeare performance of Pericles.







You can see her performance along with some extraordinary fight scenes, as described in the video where we interview a long-time patron and appreciator of Elm Shakespeare. As a perennial member of the audience in Edgerton Park, he recalls the elaborate set for a King Richard play one year, and a comedy which involved a Vespa on another occasion. There is no video or photographic recording allowed during the play itself, but we got to know the crowd and caught up with some of the performers before the play to see what makes them excited about Elm Shakespeare Co.

End of Summer Opportunity: Elm Shakespeare in Edgerton

Surely they couldn't possibly make a better video.  Imagine that this week, you could go see these guys (above) play that guy (left) in the park.  I say, go see it.

Which park?  Edgerton Park.  And if you didn't think we were going to throw a custom Google Map at you...

Just look down below.  In fact, there's so much customized and arbitrarily utilized Google products on this website, that you might even see it on the Calendar, in fact automatically tweeted when we post it to the calendar.

If you were the Elm City Shakespeare Company person, you'd be amazed because this one #Nhv post covers nearly all the information on their webpage.  What you're not going to find are links to their twitter.  Just kidding. Actually, their web page is well-designed.

I suggest you take my advice, and go to see Julius Caesar in the park.  Maybe I'll be there, if I weren't an imaginary character.  All the imaginary characters will be on stage.



All week long at 8pm (August 27 - September 1).  See NhvCal for details.
