STAR WARS - SHAKESPEARE-STYLE - IS COMING TO BETHESDA

Bethesda is about to find out what Jedi proverbs sound like in iambic pentameter, when Flying V Theatre brings its William Shakespeare's Star Wars play to town on Monday, February 17, at 8:00 PM.

No tickets will be sold - the show is a first come, first-served "pay-what-you-can" event at The Writer's Center at 4508 Walsh Street in downtown Bethesda.

Over 20 local actors will portray iconic Star Wars characters, speaking as if George Lucas were alive in the age of Shakespeare. But with fight choreography by Jonathan Ezra Rubin, the evening promises plenty of action, as well. The play is is written by Ian Doescher, and directed by Kevin Finkelstein.

Proceeds from the night will fund Flying V's new season, which will be announced that evening.
