SOUTHEASTERN WILL PRESENT "THE COMPLEAT WRKS OF WLLM SHKSPR"
     HAMMOND -- Southeastern Louisiana University's Department of Communication and
Theatre will present "The Compleat Wrks of Wllm Shkspr" March 9-13, 1999.  The play, written
by the Reduced Shakespeare Company, is "William Shakespeare as filtered through the Marx
Brothers, or perhaps Monty Python," explained director Cheryl Frederic.  Bits and pieces of over
35 Shakespeare plays are strung together into one, more or less, whole play.   There is something
for everyone including a rap version of Othello and a 45-second version of Hamlet. 
     The play will feature junior General Studies student Dan Brown of Ponchatoula, junior
Communication and Theatre student Daniel Trentacosta of Chalmette, and senior Mass
Communication student Phil Sevin of Zachary.    The three actors will perform over ten
characters each.
     Curtain time is 7:30 pm at the Vonnie Borden Theatre.  General Admission is $5,
students, children, faculty and staff, and senior citizens $3, SLU students admitted free with ID.
