——————–
We guarantee you’ll have laughs coming your way, if you are the winner of this week’s ticket giveaway. We have a pair of tickets to William Shakespeare’s Long Lost First Play (abridged), thanks to Folger Theatre.

The wonderfully inventive and wildly hilarious Reduced Shakespeare Company® returns to Folger Theatre in this eagerly anticipated World Premiere.
Discovered in a treasure-filled parking lot in Leicester, England, an ancient manuscript proves to be the long-lost first play by none other than the young William Shakespeare from Stratford.
RSC tells DCTS about their discovery
Using questionable scholarship (as is their wont) and street-performer smarts, the trio of comic actors known as Reduced Shakespeare Company throw themselves into a fast, funny, and frenzied festival of physical finesse, witty wordplay, and plentiful (pitiful) punning.

When: May 7 at 8pm
Where: Folger Theatre
201 East Capitol Street, SE
Washington, DC 20003
