William Shakespeare is the greatest writer the world has ever known. To celebrate his work and influence, literaryperformers and slam poetry champions, Regie Gibson and Marlon Carey (aka Shakespeare to Hiphop), have created "The Shakespeare Speakeasy": An all-new, original performance combining song, storytelling, spoken word and rap, with live jazz, funk, blues, hiphop and country music. "The Shakespeare Speakeasy" is a hip trip back and forth between the 16th and 21st centuries. This show is great for students, teachers and all who want to learn more about Shakespeare in a fun and funky forum. Come on and boogie with the "Bard"!
