Actors Theatre of Louisville welcomes back New York-based company Fiasco Theater as they combine their joyful, actor-driven approach to Shakespeare with the ingenuity of The Saunders Collective—a family of multi-talented performers, singers, composers and producers. Featuring original music, this collaboration breathes magical new life into the classic madcap farce about two pairs of identical twins, separated in a shipwreck, whose day roaming the same city leads to mistaken identities, cascading misadventures, and gloriously silly comic confusion.
WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING:
“Fiasco is doing justice to Shakespeare in a wholly and excitingly contemporary way…Among its tools are careful compression, deep investigation of character, a pleasure in the gestalt of ensemble work, and a firm believe the that plays are meant to be, well, accessible fun.”
—The Washington Post
“Fiasco’s priorities seem to spring from the mindset of actors who deeply love Shakespeare and long to communicate this material’s great gifts and joys…[the] ensemble members value textual clarity, enthusiastic storytelling, and energetic forward motion.”
—Vulture
“A small troupe with an expansive imagination and an eagerness to wrestle with thorny classics, Fiasco has quickly become a force to reckon with in American theater.”
—The New York Times
“The score is beautiful, with patterns and loops and cacophonies…the rapport between the Saunders brothers absolutely translates.”
—The New York Times (review of Newton’s Cradle, written by Kim Saunders & Heath Saunders; Heath & Trent Saunders performed)
“The Saunders family taps a compelling vein within the genre of musical theater.”
—Theatermania (review of Newton’s Cradle)
