The Curate Shakespeare
Garfield Center for the Arts 210 High Street, Chestertown, Maryland 21620
Event price: $15
This sparkling comedy presents the trials and pitfalls of an itinerant band of down-and-out amateur thespians, led by a dotty cleric, in their attempt to present Shakespeare’s As You Like It. They often want to quit, endure countless humiliations, and make a near hash of the precious and holy words of the god Shakespeare. But they stumble, now and then, to their own considerable surprise, across moments of beauty and integrity.
