Close Encounters of a Shakespearean Kind

Dee O'Brien's two-act adaptation pairs a streamlined Richard III with a comic Midsummer Night's Dream staged by overeager amateur actors. Performances are Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m., Oct 2-18, at TheatreFor in Clearwater; about 2 hours with intermission, recommended for ages 18+.
